An arrangement for use in a utility meter as shown in figure 1 includes a non- volatile memory (14) and an RF transceiver (16). The non-volatile memory has a first and a second port, the first port configured to obtain commodity consumption data. The radio frequency (RF) transceiver is configured to receive an RF signal from an external source (30) and to obtain energy from the RF signal and provide the energy to a bias voltage input of the non- volatile memory. The RF transceiver is further operable to perform a data transfer operation responsive to the received RF signal, the data transfer operation including a transfer of meter-related data between the non-volatile memory and the RF transceiver using the second port of the non-volatile memory.
L'invention concerne un agencement destin~ ~ un compteur de service, cet agencement comprenant une m~moire non volatile et un ~metteur-r~cepteur RF. La m~moire non volatile comporte un premier et un deuxime port, le premier port ~tant configur~ pour recueillir des donn~es de consommation de produits. L'~metteur-r~cepteur ~ fr~quence radio (RF) est configur~ pour recevoir un signal RF provenant d'une source ext~rieure et recueillir l'~nergie issue de ce signal RF, puis fournir cette ~nergie ~ une entr~e de tension de polarisation de la m~moire non volatile. L'~metteur-r~cepteur RF peut ~galement Útre exploit~ pour effectuer une op~ration de transfert de donn~es en r~ponse au signal RF re×u, cette op~ration de transfert de donn~es comprenant un transfert de donn~es li~es au compteur entre la m~moire non volatile et l'~metteur-r~cepteur RF, par l'interm~diaire du deuxime port de la m~moire non volatile.
