RF, PLC & Cellular Technology in Smart Metering System

Smart metering systems typically rely on a variety of communication technologies to transmit data between the meters and the central data management systems. Some of the major communication technologies used in smart metering systems include:
1) Power Line Communication (PLC): This technology uses existing power lines to transmit data signals between smart meters and data collection points. It's convenient because it doesn't require additional infrastructure, but it can be affected by noise and attenuation.
2) Radio Frequency (RF) Communication: RF communication utilizes wireless radio waves to transmit data. RF communication is flexible and can work over short or long distances, but it may require additional infrastructure for coverage in remote areas.
3) Cellular Communication: Smart meters can also communicate through cellular networks like 2G, 3G, 4G, or even 5G. This enables wide coverage and reliable communication, but it may incur ongoing cellular service costs.
