AMIAR

Smart meters

Smart metering with long range

Meters that communicate by radio and form their own network: they work where there is no cellular signal, install like a standard meter and are managed from a free platform.

Long-range Mesh network

Every meter is an antenna

Up to 4 km between meters
Each device relays the data of the others: hop by hop, the link reaches tens of kilometers.
Without cellular coverage
The network doesn't depend on SIM cards or mobile coverage. Designed for cooperatives and rural areas.

Smart metering by radio, where there is no cellular signal.

Why AMIAR

Four reasons to choose AMIAR

We are the only company in Argentina with meters that communicate by radio over a Mesh network. That changes how smart metering is deployed: no reliance on cellular or wiring, and no paying for software.

Long range

Up to 4 km between meters and links of tens of kilometers through hops. The pilot can cover the entire service area.

Without cellular coverage

Remote metering where there is no 4G, 3G or 2G. The solution for cooperatives and rural networks that could never read meters remotely.

Plug & Play

Installs like a conventional meter. No configuration required: it joins the network on its own and shows up on the platform.

Software at no cost

CLOUD AMIAR is included: management of the entire network, with no licenses or monthly fees.

Real-world range

Proven in the city and in the countryside

Range depends on where the device is installed. These values were measured on real networks, with devices installed by cooperatives and utilities.

300–700 m

City, indoor meter

Devices 2 m above the floor inside homes and shops.

5 km

City, from a gateway

A unit on a 30 m tower reaches the installed meters in a single hop.

6–15 km

Rural, with outdoor antenna

From the tower-mounted gateway to the meter.

40–50 km

Through hops

Each meter relays to the next until reaching a gateway with Internet access.

In operation

What it solves from the very first meter

There's no need to wait for a mass rollout: every meter installed already saves trips, field crews and time.

Remote reading

Readings from remote points without driving rural roads every month.

Remote disconnect and reconnect

Delinquency management without field crews or conflicts, with outages of just a few minutes.

Power outage alerts

The last-gasp supercapacitor reports the outage and pinpoints the fault on the map.

Distributed generation

Four-quadrant bidirectional metering: ready for customers with solar panels.

Quality of service

Maximum and minimum voltage and maximum current for every 5-minute interval.

Data for billing and GIS

Exports with meter readings, latitude and longitude for every metering point.

Start with a pilot

Two meters and a gateway are enough to validate communication on your network, even at the most remote points.
