6 million Nessum IPs shipped – the technology is gaining international acceptance
With Daikin Industries Ltd. in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) sector and Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) in the smart metering sector, two members of the Nessum Alliance are demonstrating how IEEE 1901-based technology can be integrated into existing infrastructures.
5G RedCap for Smart Meter Rollout: E.ON Grid Solutions, Westnetz, Telefónica Deutschland, and PPC Test New Mobile Communication Technology
Telefónica Deutschland, E.ON Grid Solutions, Westnetz, and Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) have successfully tested 5G RedCap as a new mobile communication technology for smart meter gateways. To do this, a 5G RedCap-enabled smart meter gateway from PPC was connected to the meter operator’s backend systems via Telefónica Deutschland’s 700-MHz network. This allowed the partners to simulate the entire communication chain under conditions close to real-world scenarios—from the smart meter gateway through the cellular network to the meter operator’s systems.
Project launch IKTres: Resilient Communication for Smart Distribution Networks
Through the IKTres innovation project, launched in May, PPC is working with partners from the research and energy sectors to develop preventive and corrective measures to make information and communication technology (ICT) in smart distribution grids more resilient to disruptions and outages. The focus is on the infrastructure of smart metering systems (iMSys), the network management system (NMS), and the digital grid twin.
One Gateway, 20 Meters: How 1:n enables scalable smart meter rollout
The need to connect multiple meters to a smart meter gateway has long been a topic of discussion in the industry. Technically speaking, 1-to-n connectivity is no longer a distant prospect; even connecting several dozen meters is easily achievable. What matters most are the design and installation, which must function reliably in the field over the long term.
