AMI Essentials enables transformation in the public power and municipal sectors by providing all of the necessary components to help you realize operational value now while forming the foundation for future services and advanced use cases for your smart distribution networks. This multi-commodity, fully integrated, end-to-end solution includes the elements needed to deploy and derive value from your system including a cellular network communications platform, cellular communication modules (endpoints), hosted software and deployment services. Learn how utilities are using AMI Essentials to deliver more accurate and timely data for billing purposes, reduce truck rolls required to support move ins/move outs, increase operational efficiency, improve customer service, and provide visibility to granular interval and other usage data.

Migrating from a manual meter reading, a touch-read AMR system, or a mobile AMR system to a fixed-network or cellular AMI system is both a difficult and an expensive decision for a utility to make.  In this session we’ll discuss the best time to migrate, the business case that will justify the migration to AMI, as well as explain how both the utility and its accountholders will benefit from the advantages an AMI system can provide. Plus, we’ll include tips for overcoming some common challenges that a utility may face when it migrates from AMR to AMI.

This session highlights how meter diversity enhances the value of utility AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) by offering utilities more choices in meter form factors and features from various global vendors. This flexibility maximizes AMI investments, lowers costs and risks tied to single-vendor reliance, and boosts operational adaptability.
