Transporting more data faster
 Transport more data
– Licensed AMI continues to dramatically expand “the
pipe” and increase speed:
» 100 KHz to 525 KHz
• Utilities want to transmit 3, 5,10 times the amount of
data pushing speeds beyond 1.0 Mbps
 Transport data faster
– Decreasing latency is key to enabling time sensitive
applications:
» Channelize - dedicate channels to specific applications thus
greatly reducing the latency that occurs due to multiple
applications sharing channels
» Optimization in routing algorithms

Coverage – Complete Control
 Optimizing communications to
every endpoint
– Power Control of transmit from
endpoints
– Redundant coverage ensures
increased availability of every
endpoint and less data backfill
requirements
CONFIDENTIAL
Secure true end-to-end IPV6
 Supports IPv6 across all platforms  meters,
FCI, DA, HAN, lighting control, and etc.
– Transforms the system from a single application AMI
network to an interoperable smart grid infrastructure
– Enables industry standard addressing to be used
between all endpoints and applications
 Increased Security Measures
– Integrating IBM's asymmetric encryption and / or
Cisco Secure Routers to utility AMI endpoints
CONFIDENTIAL
Smart Grid Evolution - UTILITY
 Getting more out of your investment
– Reducing latency enables the network to be used for
time sensitive applications like DA, Remote Load
Shifting, and Demand Response expanding use cases
far beyond billing
– Support multiple metering & endpoints platforms
that require the ability to configure and download
firmware to each effectively and efficiency
– Continued enhancements that are forward and
backward compatible

Planes / Trains / SmartGrid?
To control the train moving without manual effects & by using
ir & rfid technologies. Now-a-days the trains are moving from
one station to other station based on predefined lights and
predefined distance and driver. But now we want to control
the train without driver, in the sense we want to control the
entire train automatically with technologies. Ir transmitter is
placed at either sides of the railway station at a fixed
distance. Also every train is provided with ir receiver.
Whenever the train comes closer to the station the receiver
will detects the signals and sends it to main control plant.
Otherwise it maintains the low output after comparator. Rfid
technology is used for calculating the distance b/w train and
station rfid cards are placed on railway track for every 5km
or 10km and every train will be equipped with rfid reader to
identify the rfid cards. Whenever rfid card is detected the
results are transmitted to main controller.
