In a smart SCADA AMI (Advanced metering infrastructure) / AMR (Automatic meter reading) application, the
Aprisa LTE can be used as a backhaul network, collecting the meter information directly from Wi-Fi meters
or indirectly from an AMI collector that supports meters with a proprietary RF technology shown in Figure
6.
Figure 6 Smart SCADA AMI/AMR with Aprisa LTE Backhauling Application
In a smart SCADA workforce (vehicle) mobility application, the Aprisa LTE provides the field technician
onsite Wi-Fi WLAN local connectivity and communication path to the HQ control center. The control center
can track the vehicle on a map for security (e.g. theft) / auditing (including GNSS location, speed, and
heading) and read online self-diagnostics and reporting / alerts state of the vehicle when the vehicle ODB II
(On-Board Diagnostics II) interface is connected via an adapter (e.g. USB, Wi-Fi) to the Aprisa LTE as shown
in Figure 7.
