AMR and Energy Management

Yitran's transceiver IC’s allows utility companies to further utilize the existing outdoor electrical grid.

Using the power line grid, running from the electrical meter to the local transformer, electrical utilities can utilize their traditional presence in this medium and use this infrastructure for applications such as AMR (Automatic Meter Reading), load control, energy consumption monitoring and management, etc’.

Utility companies worldwide demand for remote meter reading brought Yitran to overcome the challenge of developing the utmost leading technology for collecting the information from the meters on the power line.

In such systems a concentrator is placed near the neighborhood transformer, which collects the data from the electricity meters located in the houses connected to this transformer. Thedata is then transferred from the concentrator to the central office usingthe mid-voltage power grid, a telephone, a wireless link or a fiber media.The system is also used for additional value added services like energymanagement and flexible tariffs.

Yitran’s technology enables 100% connectivity evenwith the farthest units.
