AMI/AMR Capabilities

AMI System Installation

Full AMI deployments including meter endpoint installation, network communication infrastructure, and head-end system integration. TCG handles the field work from meter pit to data collection point.

AMR Drive-By & Fixed-Network Systems

Traditional drive-by AMR meter installations and fixed-network AMR collectors that automate the reading process entirely — eliminating manual reads and reducing operational cost.

RF Mesh & Wireless Backhaul

RF mesh network deployment for AMI communication and wireless backhaul solutions where wired connectivity isn't practical. Integrated with private LTE where geographic reach requires it.

SCADA Integration

AMI/AMR data integrated with SCADA systems and utility management platforms for real-time operational visibility and leak detection alerting.

System Maintenance & Repair

Ongoing maintenance, endpoint replacement, communication troubleshooting, and system health monitoring through ServicePAK for deployed AMI/AMR infrastructure.

Municipal Water & Gas Utilities

TCG has deployed AMI/AMR for municipal water and gas utilities across Southeast Michigan — with the WBE certification procurement compliance that public-sector clients require.

Frequently Asked Questions

AMR (Automated Meter Reading) collects meter data automatically — typically via drive-by or walk-by collection — but data is still collected on a schedule. AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) uses a two-way communication network to collect data in real time or near-real time, enabling demand response, leak detection, and remote service management.
Yes. Trendset Communications Group's WBE (Women Business Enterprise) certification makes us a procurement-compliant vendor for municipal utilities, public water authorities, and government-funded infrastructure projects across Michigan.
Yes. TCG is a Neptune certified partner and has deployed Neptune AMR/AMI systems for Michigan utilities. We handle everything from meter endpoint installation to collector placement and head-end system connectivity.
Yes — and TCG has done exactly this. For utilities with widely dispersed service territories, private LTE provides a reliable, carrier-independent backhaul layer for AMI data collection that outperforms both cellular and fixed-wireless alternatives in geographic coverage and reliability.
