With the Zimele Meter Data Management System (MDMS) consumption data from a consumer’s smart meter is automatically collected and captured and transmitted to a remote central location using a communication medium (e.g. mobile network, power line carrier, etc.). The consumption data is then used for billing, troubleshooting, analyzing and profiling of a consumer’s energy usage
