A three-phase PLC modem or gateway with proven ZIV’s own technology according to METERS & MORE protocol

This device is intended for the interconnection of other devices implementing Meters and More PLC technology. This equipment therefore integrates Meters and More modem capabilities and LAN connectivity over an ethernet port.

Possible scenarios:

Virtual data concentrator which needs  a PLC node to communicate with smart
meters using meters and more protocol.

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 modem (one per transformer).

Repeater.

Key features

• The 4GWC AMI gateway is a purely telecommunications gateway transparent to the upper layers.
• Meter data are not stored on it as in traditional data concentrator architectures where the DLMS client and AMI database are installed locally in every secondary substation.
• With the 4GWC, a smart telecommunication infrastructure can be implemented, separating communication service provision from application level functionality and thus being future proof. Thanks to this architecture the data concentrator function can be centralized together with the AMI head-end system, allowing a unified management of the AMI information system.
