  • Fixed network for an automatic utility meter reading system
    Patent number: 8896463
    Abstract: A fixed network for automatically reading a utility meter system has been developed. The network includes multiple meter interface units (MIUs) that each collect data from a designated utility meter. The collected data is transmitted to a primary data collector. The network includes multiple data collectors and each MIU identifies its own primary data collector based on signal quality between the collector and the MIU. The network includes a central host computer that is used to receive the collected data from the primary data collectors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2014
    Assignee: Neptune Technology Group Inc.
