Traditional manual meter reading, which involves meter readers checking the electricity meters household by household every month, consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Moreover, the time span for data collection is long and the accuracy of data collection is low, which cannot meet the requirements of "periodicity, real-time, and accuracy".

The wireless intelligent electricity data collection solution uses smart meters to collect user electricity data, which is then aggregated at the concentrator. The data is transmitted to WiMAXCPE through WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) connected to the concentrator, and then periodically and automatically transmitted back to the control center through the WiMAX base station. The control center records and analyzes the data to complete subsequent optimization scheduling, control, billing and other functions.

Real time monitoring can be provided for key areas.

The entire solution adopts mature WiMAX and high redundancy Zigbee wireless data transmission system, which can build an efficient and reliable data acquisition system, and has the characteristics of flexible structure, convenient construction, easy maintenance, and low total cost.
