The deployment strategy in the PLN study is recommended to be divided into 4 phases, namely phase 1 (slow year 1-2), phase 2
(stabilization of year 3-5), phase 3 (Ramp up year 6-9), and phase 4 (mass 10-15th year)
AMI Infrastructure Background
An integrated multi-tiered (5.8/2.4 GHz network), multi-technology (RF Mesh & Cellular) end-to-end solution
 Spectrum regulations:
 83MHz available in 2.4GHz
 150MHz available in 5.8GHz

 RF Mesh NAN/FAN is meter

agnostic – ability to integrate
with multiple meter OEMs
 RF Mesh WAN is device
agnostic – ability to interface
with any Ethernet (TCP/IP)
device
 UnitySuite HES is cellular
technology agnostic – ability
to support RF Mesh and
Cellular-Based AMI networks
