About intelligent metering and your company
What is the best way to start with Intelligent Metering?It depends where you are in the AMR pathway and what goals you want to achieve. Typically, companies go for a proof of concept (see Emeris Base) in which they can evaluate the advantages of AMR in a constricted area. This helps them see AMR in a real life situation and determine which kind of installation (mobile or fixed network) best suits their needs and assess the real benefits for their particular circumstances.

Elster Emeris Intelligent Metering comprises four solutions which take customers from trial through to a full scale deployment. The Emeris Intelligent Metering solutions include:

- Emeris Multi™
Important to note is that all solutions from Elster are fully customisable to suit your specific needs. We will work together with you to determine the best solution for you.
What if at some point I want to move from mobile to fixed network? Do I have to replace my existing equipment?
No. One of the key advantages of the Elster Intelligent Metering solutions is that the underlying technology allows for full scalability. Hence, all you need to do when expanding or moving from mobile to fixed network is to add more radios, repeaters and concentrators as needed.
Just as well, at any point you can have a combination of both mobile and fixed network.
