Advanced AMR Technologies Helps Companies Facing Large Energy Cost Increases

Attendees at a recent energy forum sponsored by Massachusetts Electric were shocked to find that commercial users could face a near doubling of default electricity rates after May 1 st in Massachusetts. Some businesses have a current default energy rate of 4.5 cents per kWh that is projected to jump to 7.0 or 8.0 cents per kWh when energy costs move to market based rates. Consequently, there is expected to be an increased interest in Advanced AMR to manage energy usage and reduce the monthly costs of electricity. Under such conditions, a meter reading once a month is not always sufficient to manage electricity costs effectively; and a more robust advanced AMR system is needed. Advanced AMR Technologies is the answer to higher electricity rates caused by the changing laws of utility de-regulation, providing real-time energy consumption information in 15 minute intervals over the Internet, 24/7 online energy load analysis and a low cost wireless network that eliminates telephone lines.

Advanced AMR Technologies' wireless data collection system helps customers by supporting sub-metering, energy management, and demand response programs that reduce energy costs and save money. Since 1994, over 50,000 Advanced AMR Technologies wireless routers have been deployed around the world for security monitoring and metering applications. The Advanced AMR Technologies web site www.AdvancedAMR.com provides a demo of this energy monitoring technology, along with information on the current trends of advanced AMR.

About Advanced AMR Technologies

Headquartered in Peabody, Massachusetts, Advanced AMR Technologies manufactures Internet based AMR and load management networking systems under the AES-IntelliNet brand name for a broad range of customer applications. The company's leading edge wireless communications technology provides a robust solution that delivers low cost 15 minute interval meter data in real time over the Internet for billing, demand response and energy management applications.

Background

Each wireless router detects, stores, and sends the pulse count from up to four meters every 15 minutes to the IP Link. Meter data is sent via TCP/IP through the IP-Link to be viewed on the Internet. The average hop between wireless routers is measured in miles and can be over 10+ miles based on topography and signal strength of antenna.
