PRIME Dual 1.3 & 1.4 Gateway | 4GWC-L

The 4GWC-L PRIME certified dual stack modem forms part of a remote management system with automatic meter reading (AMR) through the low voltage network (Power Line Communication or PLC).

It is intended for the interconnection of other devices implementing PRIME PLC technology.

PRIME 1.4 certification

Application

The gateway can be used in different scenarios:

• For the transition from PRIME v1.3 to PRIME v1.4
• As a base node for communication with virtual CCTs.
• To reach meters in remote locations thanks to its operation as a repeater

In Secondary substations with more than one transformer. In these installations just one data concentrator acts as master, and this is connected to more than one PLC base node (one per transformer).

The 4GWC is a compact device that provides efficient solutions in the deployment of PLC smart meters.
