ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 23 of 100
A smart meter automatically measures utility consumption and communicates the readings to the supplier over a network. Installed at a home or business, it can record electricity or gas usage at intervals and send the data through cellular or another communication network. This supports remote meter reading, detailed consumption information, and more responsive utility operations.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) describes an acceleration sensor used to measure changes in velocity
- (c) describes remote wipe, a security function for erasing data from a lost or managed device
- (d) describes an advanced activity tracker or wearable device that analyzes walking and energy use
Key rule: A smart meter combines a measurement function with network communication so utility usage can be collected automatically without a manual visit.
