métodos e aparelhos relacionados com um adaptador entre uma rede premissa e uma rede de infra-estrutura de medição avançada (ami)

摘要

A system described herein can include a first node within an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) network. The first node can be configured to be installed within a portion of a meter device. The system can also include an adapter configured to function as a second node within the AMI network. The adapter can be configured to translate a signal defined based on a platform of a premise network into a signal defined based on a platform of the AMI network. The adapter can be configured to be a meter-independent device.
