Networked Remote Meter-Reading System Based on Wireless Communication Technology

A networked remote meter-reading system based on Bluetooth wireless communication technology and GSM is presented in this paper. The remote meter-reading system employs distributed structure, which consists of measure meters, sensors, intelligent terminals, management centre and wireless communication network. The intelligent terminal which designed based on embedded system and Bluetooth technology is used to realize acquisition information submitted from meters and sensors control the energy-consuming devices moreover in residence. The message communicated between the intelligent terminal and management centre by dint of GSM network. The structure and function of this meter-reading system are described and the system's hardware and software detailed. The meter-reading task can be finished at the management centre of residence area by using this system. The system has many significant excellences, such as wireless, low-workload, great quantity of data transmission, high-veracity and low-expenses. The using of embedded system improves the stability of wireless data transmission. The remote meter-reading system which can be propitious to administer energy-source and continuous development have abroad application foreground
