Abstract:
Wireless automatic meter reading (AMR) system based on a fixed radio network brings many advantages when compared to other meter reading techniques. After an introduction to the state of the art of AMR systems in general, and particularly of water meter reading system, a wireless automatic water-meter reading system founded on ZigBee technology is presented. Set forth in the text are main characteristics of this low cost and low power system. The benefits of imlementing ZigBee protocol as the solution for the imposed requirements are rather thoroughly discussed, mainly in the aspect of network configuration as the basis for robust data transmission, wide area signal coverage and lowering devices’ power consumption.
