Abstract:
Nowadays, the use of wireless technologies provides a great benefit to the society. One particular example is the shift towards smarter, more advanced meters. While this trend first started off with the electricity meter market, the adoption of smart meters within the gas and water meter market is also gaining momentum. This article presents an architecture, design and implementation of an advanced meter infrastructure based on 169 MHz, which is suitable for critical deployments as basements, courtyards, etc. The article includes the design and implementation of a wireless sensor node and a gateway for Gas Smart Metering, which can coordinate the network and connect the metering to the “Cloud”. This way, the acquired data could be used to improve the measurement systems avoiding human errors.
