With the rapid development of wireless technologies, it is possible for Chinese automatic meter reading system(AMRS) to be equipped with wireless sensor networks due to their low-cost, simplicity and mobility. In the current study, we compared the advantages of ZigBee with other two similar wireless networking protocols, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and proposed a wireless solution for AMRS based on ZigBee technology. As an explorative application of ZigBee technology in AMRS, The design reduces the system cost and power consumption and improves the system's flexibility and practicality.
