How it works
01
Smart meters at the endpoint communicate over RF Mesh, PLC, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, M-Bus, LTE or Wi-SUN.
02
Data concentrators and the Head End System collect, validate and route readings.
03
MDMS stores interval data, supports billing and feeds loss-detection and transformer-monitoring platforms.
