The integrated system of smart meters, communications networks, and data management systems known as advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a dream for forward-facing utility companies. AMI architecture can reduce power outages and electrical spikes, help consumers lower their monthly energy bills, and give access to gas, electric and water readouts through remote mobile devices.
Across Europe and the U.S., smart grids and a vast network of power-reading sensors are paving the way for an easier, cost-effective, eco-friendly future. While smart metering currently features cross-network connection capability for 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE, the coming impact of 5G for IoT solutions in enabling new applications across AMI and smart utility functionality will be felt across the globe. Building an AMI framework now for 5G capabilities will revolutionize the way the world connects us to the world around us.
