tracking downed lines is pretty much automatic. The meters report the
loss of power over the mesh. It's just a matter of a little decoding
and the precise location of the break is apparent with no waiting for
outage calls to come in.

How do meters without power report anything to anyone?

Batteries?

A cry for help?

"The next stage uses the Smart Meters themselves to report an outage. When a
Smart Meter senses that it is losing power it sends a €œlast gasp€ message
back to the central office. This message is interpreted as a new outage in
the OMS even though the customer probably hasnt called yet. Typically the
IVR tries to communicate with the customer advising the status and expected
repair times."
