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
- Through the Data Concentrator over PLC, RF, Hybrid PLC+RF
- 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.
