Abstract
A meter communication interface device includes a radio frequency (RF) communication unit, multiple different types of communication ports, and a controller. The RF communication unit receives, via RF signaling, at least one of first commands, instructions or data destined for a first meter encoder, meter, or meter interface unit (MIU). The controller selects a first communication port from the multiple different types of communication ports, and sends, via the selected first communication port using a first communication mechanism, the at least one of first commands, instructions or data to the first meter encoder, meter, or MIU.
