Electrical meters provide a lot of data which can be useful for the utility if it is extracted and made available to a central server in a human readable format. Arctic AMR is the latest plug and play device launched by Viola Systems to make any meter Smart Grid capable. Arctic AMR automatically retrieves all the meter data and transfers to any server.

The Utility can use the meter data for billing, distribution control, avoiding thefts, improve efficiency, etc. Arctic AMR provides Automatic Meter Reading for various kinds of meters on RS-232 or connecting through an external optical port cable. Protocols such as Modbus / DLMS/COSEM have been implemented. The communication solution is designed to ensure that complete data is consistently available without interruption. Arctic AMR works using Viola’s ThinVPN software which ensures data security and authentication in transmission.

contemporary There are several inherent technical advantages offered by Arctic AMR such as:
• Establishing instant and consistent data communication with any meter.
• Easily maintain a network of thousands of nodes.
• Lowest total cost of ownership as normal SIM card from any telecom operator can be used.
• Secure and reliable solution.

Arctic AMR has an inbuilt modem that works on an existing public network e.g. GPRS. This ensures there is no need of building proprietary network. Thus cost of ownership is the lowest.
