CRM Integration for Radio Networks

The document describes an intelligent mesh radio network for utility metering that uses two-way communication between smart water meters in the field and a head end system. The smart meters communicate via RF mesh or GPRS networks to concentrators and then to the head end, which includes a meter data management system. The head end integrates with backend systems like CRM/billing software over standard interfaces. It notes some limitations of existing single-communication PLC networks and a lack of standards for head end interfaces.
