Abstract: The age of electronic automatic meter reading and data retrieval has become a reality in the gas industry. The improvement in minicomputer technology and related software along with the recent deregulation of the telephone industry are a few of the outside factors that contributed to the development of cost-effective and efficient data-retrieval systems. We at Equitable have spent a great deal of time and effort in the evaluation, testing, and further development of a data-retrieval system. Several of the available systems offer technology well beyond the realm of remote meter reading. In this paper we have established evaluation criteria and identified many of the advantages as well as the disadvantages associated with the various technologies. In addition, we have stressed the importance of implementing a data-retrieval system that can accommodate the data required to operate a gas utility during this period of intense competition and customer awareness.
