Abstract
The paper discusses Automated Meter Reading, a technology used to automate the task of reading consumption records of subscribers. This is one of the immediate issues facing Utilities in Iran and elsewhere. The problem is first defined in terms of Utilities critical infrastructure needs, revenue protection and operational efficiencies. Various drivers as well as impediments within such scopes are then defined. Moreover, different technologies proposed and implemented are discussed. Furthermore, the field trial of one such technology in Orumiyeh, in West Azerbaijan, Iran is outlined. The paper concludes by capturing the conclusions obtained and suggestions for further improvements of such technologies for future applications.
