AMM : Automatics Meter Management  Smart Meter with an intelligent Wireless connectivity  Able to manage / monitor the meter on the field and add new services Smart Meter + Intelligent Wireless Connectivity (Wireless CPU & Open AT ® )

WAVECOM©2005. All rights reserved 4 Global trend for AMR & AMM  Ageing infrastructure (grid, meters) to be upgraded  New environnement (Production, transport, distribution) with increased competition  Real consumption billing requirements  ½ hourly reading and profiling  Fraud, reduce T&D Losses and improve distribution efficiency  Environnemental constraints (energy saving) Culmination of multiple factors  Generalisation of electronic meters  Affordable & mature communication technologies (RF, PLC, Cellular)  Existing standards (DLMS, M Bus, IP connectivity) & interropability Favouring trends

WAVECOM©2005. All rights reserved 5 AMR/AMM & SCADA in INDIA  Major fund provided by GOI APDRP (Accelerated Power Development and Reform Program) – World Bank, ADB, to reduce T&D Losses and improve distribution efficiency  AMR/AMM is a recommended solution by APDRP to reduce electricity losses in region.  The first AMR/AMM project in INDIA were started by NDPL & BSES which have more than meter remotely controlled,  More than 20 SEB and distribution companies are coming with AMR/AMM projects.

All rights reserved 7 Total Cost Return On Investment  AMR/AMM Management System  Communication device & operation cost  Installation  Maintenance  Total Cost of Ownership must be considered. Installation and Maintenance fee are not neglictable  ROI to be targeted between 2 to 4 years  Success stories in Europe, USA, Australia. Projects on-going in China, India, Thailand. Cost / Investment  Minimize Looses (efficiency & theft)  Billing Improvement (Prepayement, variable fares)  Customer Profiling & New Services Saving / Return Global Trend

WAVECOM©2005. All rights reserved 8 Total Cost of Ownership Cost Structure depending on Technology  Total cost of ownership depends on 3 factors – Type of technology used – Density – How much you want to interact with meter (Meter management)  Cellular technologies (GSM/GPRS, CDMA) is usually the winner −Win on field maintenance (Carrier QOS) −Win on Installation and Project Management against RF and PLC. −Easy and cost effective integration of data (TCP/IP) −Real AMM (open to new services, IP device, HTTP)

WAVECOM©2005. All rights reserved 9 Total Cost of Ownership What are the main cost driver?  Ask yourself the following simple questions before selecting a Wireless AMR/AMM solution vendor: – How long will my application be operating in the field? (1 year, 5 years, 15 years) – What is the probability that my own application software will never need to be upgraded? – How much does it cost me to upgrade an application? Deinstallation – Shipping – Upgrade – Shipping – Reinstallation $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000? – What is the best way to protect my business against the risk that my application may suddenly stop working, for whatever reason?
