Abstract: The present invention relates to a retrofit communication interface module for upgrading communication capability of deployed legacy energy meters. The module interfaces with an existing communication interface of a legacy energy meter and enables communication with an existing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) backend system over a cellular communication network without replacement of the legacy energy meter or modification of the backend system. The module comprises an automatic protocol discovery engine configured to determine communication characteristics of the legacy energy meter, a protocol translation engine configured to translate communications between meter-side and backend-side protocols, an identity preservation engine configured to maintain meter identity continuity, and a legacy behavioral emulation engine configured to preserve communication behavior expected by the backend system. The invention further provides a method for enabling transparent communication interoperability between heterogeneous deployed legacy energy meters and existing backend infrastructure using the retrofit communication interface module.
