AMI for All

Smart Meters
For more than a decade, electric utilities have transitioned from manual and time-intensive meter reading to advanced metering infrastructure to improve situational awareness and reduce costs through enhanced operational efficiency. AMI, however, often requires a level of upfront and ongoing investment unattainable by small and municipally-owned utilities. AMIoT from OATI is an open-sourced solution that provides flexible, secure, and forward-looking AMI with advanced metering technology and a long-range communication network.

Cost-effective smart metering and grid-edge visibility

AMIoT™ provides advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) capabilities for small and midsize utilities. It offers cost-effective, LoRaWAN®-based connectivity to improve situational awareness and outage response.

  • Electricity, gas, and water meter integration
  • Real-time and automated alerts and consumption data
  • Remote disconnect
  • Cloud-based and locally hosted options
  • Easy, self-install communication network

Enable smart cities uses cases without network upgrades

Once a utility or municipality has installed the LoRa communication network, a host of additional smart cities use cases such as smart street lighting, parking, asset tracking, and others, can be implemented without additional network costs. As a result, municipalities can distribute system costs across multiple departments to navigate limited budgets and provide greater value to residents.

Case Studies

Right-sized smart metering for municipalities

Three cities in Illinois – Flora, Metropolis, and Breese – needed improved situational awareness and efficiency for their municipal-owned utilities. However, small communities have historically been priced-out of advanced metering infrastructure due to steep costs.
Solution
By adopting OATI’s IoT-based AMI solution, a modern, easy to install network of devices that utilizes open standards, these communities eliminated truck rolls, gained situational awareness during outages, and established a network capable of supporting countless smart cities applications with no additional network investment.
