Smart Metering
Electricity meters become smart with the help of our communications technologies. Our smart meter gateways and communications technologies ensure highly secure data communication. This offers data access to the end customer, the utility and other stakeholders without compromising end user privacy or endangering the security of the grid.
As the rollout of smart meters proceeds, and even where smart meters are not available, we are helping our customers to achieve their data communication goals efficiently and successfully, supporting them in all processes related to the planning, installation and operation of the communications infrastructure.

The basis for SMGW reusability: PPC implements the ‘DoDeleteUserData’ function
Once a smart meter gateway has been installed and commissioned, personal data is recorded. To protect personal data, it has therefore not been possible to reuse such gateways until now. The ‘DoDeleteUserData’ function, which PPC has now implemented, lays the groundwork for reuse and enables a smart meter gateway that has already been commissioned to be reinstalled at a different location.
Energy Metering Becomes the First Metering Point Operator to Sign an SMGWplus Contract with PPC
With the SMGWplus, Energy Metering aims to further advance the digitization and scaling of its rollout. At the same time, the solution lays the groundwork for new and existing B2B partnerships. The company has set a goal of digitizing more than 1 million metering points in the coming years. The SMGWplus expands the functionality of the smart meter gateway beyond mere meter reading transmission. The software update enables SMGWs to securely control systems and consumption devices directly from the SMGW
Room for big ideas: PPC builds new test and demo center
Spanning more than 100 m², the center provides a modern environment for development and live demonstrations of the intelligent metering system, CLS components, communication technologies, and the Network Management System (NMS). With more than 1,000 test stations, the entire spectrum from interoperability to development support can be covered.
Digital controllability check: SISSY consortium demonstrates a new approach to verifying controllability
With its digital control check based on intelligent metering systems (iMSys), the SISSY consortium is demonstrating a new, scalable method for verifying the controllability of generation plants. This approach makes it possible to verify basic controllability efficiently, in a manner that benefits the grid, and without the need for physical intervention or test-based curtailment of renewable generation capacity.
