Abstract: Wireless meter reading put more control into the hands of both utilities and consumer by giving them more detailed information about power consumption. In the work presented here, a technique has been developed to read electricity meter reading from a remote server automatically using the existing GSM networks for cellular phones. This technique can be applied for gas or water meters as well as. The meter send the meter readings like kilo-watt-hour (kWh), voltage, current, bill, etc. by SMS to a central server. The central server then stores the information in database for analysis and sends the bill to the customer mobile phone. The SMS based data collection cab be done very quickly and efficiently. Data can be collected after any desired time interval such as hourly, daily, weekly or monthly bases. Remote meter can be used in residential apartment and especially in industrial consumers where bulk energy consumed.
