The ConnectPort X2 with Wireless M-Bus provides utility operators a secure and reliable Internet gateway connection to concentrate the monitoring of Wireless M-Bus enabled utility meters, as well as introduce new customer engagement programs for energy conservation. The Python-programmable gateway is also upgradable to use Device Cloud by Etherios, which enables easy firmware updates and is a secure, scalable resource for connecting utility customers with their energy usage data.
The gateway incorporates the Wireless M-Bus standard (EN- 13757-4:2005) as well as the OMS (Open Metering Standard) specification, which defines the communications protocol between devices such as water, gas and electricity meters and the concentrators that make their information available to the utilities. The ConnectPort X2 with Wireless M-Bus is an excellent low-cost solution for energy service providers, as well as a platform to service smart grid initiatives in the future.
The Python-programmable gateway is also upgradable to use Device Cloud, which enables easy firmware updates and is a secure, scalable resource for connecting utility customers with their energy usage data. With Device Cloud, utilities can develop new relationships with their customers by connecting with them via smartphones as well as energy reporting applications.
