IEEE 1390-1995

This standard describes a utility telemetry service (UTS) architecture operated over the switched telephone network. The UTS architecture described is a basic transport architecture capable of supporting many different applications. Telemetry calls may be initiated from either the utility/enhanced service provider (ESP) or the telemetry interface unit (TIU) on the end userÕs premise. The two access methods defined for this service are _Central office service unit (COSU) access method and _Direct dial access method The two TIU transmission methods defined for this service are _Off-hook transmission method and _On-hook transmission method. The architecture covered in this standard is described in terms of a basic utility meter reading/controlling service. However, any number of other applications can be delivered using the telemetry transport service. These other applications are not covered in this standard.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a generic architecture under which the telecommunications interfaces and functionality of the Utility Telemetry Service will be defined. This architecture will provide to utilities a facility that is readily available, has short set-up times, and allows for automatic meter reading using the capabilities of the switched telephone network. This architecture can be used for a multitude of different transport applications.

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. Withdrawn Standard. Withdrawn Date: Feb 06, 2006. This standard describes a utility telemetry service architecture operated over the telephone network. The architecture described is a basic transport architecture capable of supporting many different applications. The text is described in terms of a utility meter reading application, but any enhanced service provider (ESP) communication can be transported. Telemetry calls may be initiated by either the utility/service provider (outbound) or the telemetry interface unit (TIU)/CPE (inbound) on the end user's premise.
