AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

These meter reading systems generally have problems such as difficult construction, narrow bandwidth, low speed, poor real-time performance, and inability to realize two-way fast communication. High-level management requirements such as electricity prepayment, power interruption and restoration, and electricity theft prevention

In view of the above problems, it is proposed to use the low-voltage power line broadband carrier communication technology to develop and apply the meter reading system. Since the power line broadband carrier communication technology uses modulation technologies such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and DMT (Multi-Carrier Modulation), it solves the long-term problem. Since the power line carrier communication technology is unstable, unreliable, signal attenuation is large, transmission bandwidth and distance are limited, etc.
