Texas instrument's broad portfolio drives smarter metering solutions

TI's comprehensive utility metering portfolio includes devices targeted at electricity, water and gas metering, as well as power line communications (PLC) and radio frequency (RF) interfaces for automated meter reading (AMR) that allow customers to design "smart metering" solutions. As part of a smart solution, previously independent systems like meters, home thermostats and large appliances will communicate wirelessly or over existing power lines to help consumers make more informed choices about electricity.
