In the digital age of utility management, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) has become the standard for accurate, remote, and real-time data collection. But behind every successful AMI deployment is a critical, often overlooked tool — the optical probe.
Optical probes are used for reading, programming, and configuring smart meters through their optical communication ports. Whether during production, calibration, or in-field servicing, these tools ensure reliable and secure data exchange between the meter and utility systems.
At Tespro, we’ve developed a range of optical probes to meet diverse utility needs. Our TP-BT Bluetooth Probe enables wireless communication with handheld terminals or mobile apps, offering high stability even in noisy environments. For desktop or laptop use, the TP-USB Probe provides plug-and-play functionality and compatibility with most meter protocols.
What sets our probes apart is not just the hardware — it’s the adaptability. Our probes support DLMS/COSEM and other popular protocols, making them compatible with 90% of smart meters on the market. Combined with robust casing, compact design, and easy integration with utility software, they are the go-to choice for both utility technicians and OEM partners.
As utilities continue to expand their smart metering networks, having the right tools in the field becomes mission-critical. Optical probes may be small, but their role in powering the AMI revolution is massive.
