A system, referred to as a reading system, used in an automated metering management system as part of a fluid distribution service comprising a plurality of fluid meters. The reading system comprises at least a first communication module conforming to a wireless communication standard used by each fluid meter and a second communication module adapted to communicate by power lines in line with a data concentrator (11) via a first network, said data concentrator communicating with a management entity (15) of the automated metering management system via a second network. The reading system further comprises means for instantiating an application emulating a virtual fluid meter capable of communicating directly with the data concentrator (11) for each fluid meter of the plurality, and, for each fluid meter of the plurality , the corresponding virtual fluid meter is responsible for retransmitting information representative of a reading of the consumption of fluids supplied to the reading system by said fluid meter to the management entity (15) via the data concentrator (11).
