What is AMR?:

Automated Meter Reading (AMR) refers to the technology used for automating collection of energy (electricity) consumption data for the purposes of real-time billing and consumption analysis. At any given time, the AMR system gathers real-time data and transfers the information gathered to the central database through networking technology.

The remote Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) System is a host driven, multi-level network system consisting of a Host Central Station (HCS), Data Concentrator Units (DCU) and Meter Interfacing Units (MIU), with built-in flexibility and expandability. Each HCS, while working independently, can also be integrated with an existing corporate information management system through software interface. With additional hardware and software support, the HCS can function as a workstation in an existing Local Area Network (LAN) and becomes a member of the entire system, or several HCS can be connected together to form a network of their own..
 

The GPS receivers listen to signals from a minimum of either three or four satellites at a time and triangulate a position fix using the interval between the transmission and reception of the satellite signal. Any given receiver tracks more satellites than are actually needed for a position fix. The reason for this is that if one satellite becomes unavailable, the receiver knows exactly where to find the best possible replacement.
