4 PSTN
4Adequate Dial-Up Lines at Control Center/Leaf Node
4 GSM/CDMA
4Adequate Channels at Metering Center for simultaneous
connection
4Adequate Channels at leaf nodes
4An E1 line for GSM/CDMA can support 30 channels. Most
providers provide limited channels in each cell. Hence the
number of simultaneous calls (especially data) is limited
4Polling Schema directly effects cost as well as capital
investment in infrastructure
4Network Layout and Distribution Critical
17
Communication Bottlenecks4 Lack of standardization for AMR
4 Meter’s support proprietary protocols
4 DLMS/IEC 62056 / IEC 60870-5-102 / MODBUS etc., are not supported
4 Without standardization, very difficult to implement AMR in INDIA, cost-
efficiently, and needs specific solutions to specific problems
18
