    PRACTICAL APPLICATION
    Field Implementation of iTechene’s LoRa
    Mesh Network for AMI/AMR

    iTechene Technologies Group


    Two sites were chosen:
     In remote rural areas
     Scattered houses
     Complex circuits
     With Trees and Hills

    iTechene Technologies Group


    First site:
    • 85 meters are located on both sides of the road
    • DCU is installed in the west of the village
    • About 1km away from the furthest house

    iTechene Technologies Group


    Results:
    The daily Billing Reset data is read back and one-month of data was
    collected. Success rate for meter is 100% and stable.

    iTechene Technologies Group
    Real-time communication:
    Real-time communication test was conducted: 892 tests were
    conducted to read all 85 electric meters concurrently. 890 tests were
    successful. The success rate is 99.78%.

    iTechene Technologies Group 26


    Second site:
    • 145 meters are scattered within the mountainous area
    • DCU is located near the center of the site
    • DCU is about 2kms away from the furthest house, where hills between
    them

    iTechene Technologies Group 27


    Results:
    For the second site. The daily billing reset data of 142 meters
    were read back for one-month. Three meters were not able to
    communicate and the success rate was 97.93% and stable.

    The reasons of Three failures meter-reading:


    1. Meter ID 040300350212025 was changed on Dec.12th,
    2016, but was not updated in the AMI/AMR station;
    2. Meter ID 0403010004372992 was not connected to the
    grid;
    3. Meter ID 040300350923233 was out of service.
