replies: text: I might suggest that AMR and AMI would be merged together as one article instead of separate articles. In the electrical industry they are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally speaking we just say AMI. AMR is defunct and was a predecessor to AMI. ThoHug (talk) 15:40, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm on a patent filed in 1995/97 (granted in 2001) that describes these aspects a bit:
http://www.google.com/patents/US6208266
In our case, we used Li-SOCl2 cells (D sized 16ah). We had devices on various non-machine readable Badger and Kent meters with some of the first CMOS imagers from FUGA. We'd shoot a reference image, store it locally on our endpoint device, and then just send the changed/diff pixels to an OCR engine. We used 900MHz wireless custom mesh networks that talked to a Remote Management Processor (RMP) that would upload to an internet portal where the OCR engines had copies of the reference image. Not sure who maintains this page but sort of an IoT of it's time. I'd add it but not sure if it'd be a violation of NPOV...
