It is the blog authors intent to discuss here technical, deployment, market and competitive issues with respect to the adoption of DLMS COSEM Protocol for metering around the world for electricity, gas and water metering applications.
We hope the information and discussions here would add value to the metering industry at large to make the right decisions and have the right information when the consider which way to go and how in policy decisions driving metering, AMI, DSM and DR projects.
Sincerely,
Prasanth

we are making the AMR Energy meters.
The communication medium is GSM (through SMS only), we developed our own data encrypted format, the meter send the data through SMS and the data concentrator , which is located at the providers end, convert these data to the desired format like DLMS/MIOS.
My doubt is, is it not allowed?
This is not currently envisaged within DLMS COSEM. Also, this might turn out to be an expensive proposition from a recurring charge perspective.
However what you suggested is quite possible technically, and as long as the end user, wants a DLMS or MIOS Interface to their meter reading system without actually worrying how the meter is read, this should be fine.
However with GPRS / CDMA data traffic cheaper for metering applications than SMS on a monthly basis, it might be worthwhile to also provide a native DLMS / COSEM support on the meter.
