4G remote management: what it means for utilities and estates

Traditional meters need someone to visit site for every reading, disconnection or reconnection. Connected meters change that.

What remote management lets you do

• Read consumption and load profiles automatically
• Connect or disconnect supply from the office
• Update tariffs across the network
• Upgrade meter firmware remotely
• Receive tamper and event alarms as they happen

4G, PLC or RF?

4G suits scattered sites where each meter connects directly. In dense buildings, PLC or RF links to a data concentrator are often more economical, with the concentrator carrying data to your head-end over 4G, Ethernet or fibre.

Prow smart meters and data concentrators use the open DLMS/COSEM protocol. Talk to us about the right architecture for your project.
