Modular Meter and consumer meters are placed on a pole within the protective box
Single module for WAN communication for all meters in the box
WAN communication via Hybrid PLC+RF
Single module for WAN communication for all meters in closely spaced boxes
WAN communication via 3GPP
Single module for WAN communication for all meters in closely spaced boxes
Substantial saving of devices purchase prices
Substantial saving of maintenance costs
Reduction of expenditures for Communication
Tamper and losses elimination
Communications:
Modular meter and DIN meters – via BLE channel;
WAN communications between Modular meter and HES :
Through the Data Concentrator over PLC, RF, Hybrid PLC+RF or
Directly via 3GPP
HAN communication via BLE includes:
IO switch, relay status, on/off commands;
Control home appliances,
Support of other smart devices (gas, water utility meters);
Local interface for service functions
Smart meters with WAN and HAN abilities :
Modular meter with PLC, RF or Hybrid PLC+RF communication module, based on open standard G3-PLC.
Customers’ BLE-based DIN meters both 1-phase and 3-phase direct connected
Future Integration of Utility devices
BLE Mesh network structure substantially reduces the number of Modular meters Customers can be connected/disconnected from power network by a command from HES transmitted via Modular Meters. Other utilities meters (water, gas) can be integrated in the network by BLE communication channel. Special mobile application is used for customer’s informing or service purposes.
