Fibre-Optic Cableing provision ..................26 Nov 2019 12:30
....... to pick up your point on Sunday Vas, is, I believe, deployed to assist in the growth of technology services, in many countries. I suspect in Iran, it is no different.
In Andre Pradesh, India, for instance, the state government has been installing fibre-optic cable for nearly 2 years now, " ..... to provide residents with smart city services." Also " The fibre grid will provide smart grid internet, T.V. and telephone services, to approximately 100,000 house-holds in 55 villages."

Anil Daulani highlighted about infrastructure upgrade earlier in the year, when he wrote:- " Utilities awareness and involvement in selecting a technology that includes meters, with a service life of 10 to 12 years, means that the longevity, deployment and roll-out strategy is vital. Other important areas to consider when implementing AMI, is the vast amounts of data from smart meters, which is approximately 200 times more than legacy meters, are important areas to bring attention. Aging infrastructure leads to replacement of service cables and transformer fuses, etc., which if not well planned during the AMI procurement process, leads to delays in field deployments."

My view is the implementation/provision of fibre-optic cable, should be seen as an important and neccessary transition towards a more comprehensive AMI roll-out, in one respect, while also providing other smart grid/smart city services.
