Zusammenfassung:A method for downloading software to a plurality of meters (M1, M2, . . . , MN) via a plurality of data concentrators (DC A, DC B, . . . ) includes the steps of: mapping the positions of the meters and of the data concentrators; defining a plurality of subnetworks, each comprising data concentrators; associating each subnetwork with a downloading date comprising, the downloading date of each subnetwork being different from the downloading dates of the other subnetworks; transmitting to the data concentrators of each subnetwork the downloading date associated with said subnetwork so that, when the downloading date associated with said subnetwork is reached, all of the data concentrators of said subnetwork download the software to all of the meters that are positioned within communication range of the data concentrators of said subnetwork.
