Top Design Considerations for Low-Power Metering Applications

As green energy management becomes a global imperative, the idea of implementing intelligent systems and wireless technology to more efficiently use energy and other natural resources has become a pervasive reality. It began with a relatively simple idea. If you add embedded intelligence and a communications link to a traditional metering device, you have the ability to remotely access the data that the “smart meter” has collected. The first and most obvious application of this was to streamline the meter reading and billing process. However, through this seemingly simple enhancement of a communications link, a network was born, and with it came an explosion of applications and innovations transforming the way energy is measured, priced and consumed.

Whether designing a new smart meter or equipment to retrofit existing meters, there are a number of design considerations that will result in power savings, wireless range improvement and lower system cost.
