Meters & More Gateway | 4GWC-L

The 4GWC meters & more gateway forms part of a remote management system with automatic meter reading (AMR) through the low voltage network (Power Line Communication or PLC).

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

Applications

• 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.
