Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

SciSoft’s key focus is on developing & implementing Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to support the Automated Meter Reading (AMR) in electric, gas & water utilities. The AMI provides the wireless communications backbone that enables the connectivity through Mesh Networks to the utilities communication backbone and integrates with the data communications center.

As the leading service provider in the energy industry, SciSoft has the expertise to help you improve operations through advanced technology and proven business processes through an effective deployment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) (AMI). We can revitalize your legacy applications so you can rapidly and cost-efficiently respond to changing market conditions. Energy clients can capitalize on our experience in efficiently managing meter deployment and integrating systems to access information collected from the meters.

The value derived from an Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system is directly linked to the functionalities selected by that system as well as the relative improvement of operational metrics enabled by such system. Since different AMI technologies enable different savings opportunities, and the costs for implementing these technologies vary by type and geography, it is critical to optimize AMI technology solutions to the specific requirements of a utility.

Wireless networks require optimization with the physical legacy network. The demarcation point is not the radio. SciSoft performs all aspects of the wired and wireless system build-out. Proper planning ensures that the rollout is done right the first time. SciSoft will carefully weigh the benefits of using licensed versus unlicensed radio for every application with a complete understanding of the customer's expectations of system performance and cost. Whether you are deploying a licensed/unlicensed radio system, wireless LANS, Wi-Fi hot spots, 3G mobile radio, or point-to-point free space optics links, SciSoft has the tools, the talent, and the necessary expertise to match your ongoing system requirements. 

We have a professional staff with extensive experience in all aspects of Network Planning, Design, Provisioning, Implementation and Operation. Our goal is to provide our customers with the expertise they need to improve the services they currently offer and bring new technologies to market that will enable them to compete in the wireless world and smart grids of the future.
