  • Abstract
    Advanced meters for electricity and gas require two-way communication to upload commands to, and download measuring data from the meters. With a specific emphasis on the means for two-way communication, this research starts from an analysis ofthe amount of data to be transmitted and its real time requirements, and it evaluates different communication means for smart metering for suitability, penetration rate, exploitation costs, flexibility and dependability -focused on Flanders´ case.
