Meter Programming, At Scale

Silver Spring’s UtilityIQ® Meter Program Configurator enables wireless, remote programming of electricity meters on a mass scale. The programming software uses push technology to deploy programs to meters. It can send programs to meters individually but can do so across millions of meters simultaneously by sending the program updates across multiple Silver Spring Access Points (APs).

When Meter Program Configurator successfully configures a meter with a new program and validates it, the meter re-initializes and sends its program to UtilityIQ Advanced Metering Management for verification and approval. The combination of these software programs allows utilities to update millions of meters without ever needing a single truck roll.

Meter Program Configurator:

• Creates and stores meter programs for future use
• Transfers programs to meters wirelessly, eliminating truck rolls for meter updates
• Automates approval of programs within UtilityIQ Advanced Metering Management
• Configures interval width and calculates internal interval storage
• Enables and disables self reads and offset times
• Runs automated, recurring audits of meters
