The Smart Meter Gateway

The Smart Meter Gateway is the most powerful and future-proof platform for the digital transformation of the energy transition.

With that, we’re ready for the future!

HIGH-PERFORMANCE. FUTURE-PROOF.

Achieve Success Faster: As a high-performance platform, the SMGW provides long-term support for both established and new business models.

Scale Up Faster: Because properties can be equipped with an SMGW for up to 50 meters, you’ll save a lot of installation time and be able to reach your rollout goals faster.

Faster Startup: Thanks to the SMGW’s fast boot time, installation is significantly shorter—so your rollout moves along more quickly.

Faster Data Transfer: Our high-performance hardware ensures lightning-fast data transfer. This applies both to the transmission of measurement values (over HAN and WAN) and to the transmission of control signals.

Ready for the Future

Thanks to its performance reserves, the PPC SMGW’s hardware platform enables long-term operation of the devices in accordance with the revised Measurement and Calibration Act. All future features can be added via software updates.

An overview of the benefits of the smart meter gateway:

1:n

With its new compact profile, the PPC SMGW can map the TAF 7 with up to 50 meters. This means that a single SMGW can receive and process measurement data from up to 50 meters per property—all in compliance with calibration regulations!

Interoperability

INTEROPERABILITY is a top priority at PPC. That’s why our SMGWs are compatible with all GWA/EMT systems, control boxes, and 200 meters from over 21 manufacturers. To further expand the extensive compatibility of the PPC SMGW, we continuously conduct compatibility tests.

Added Value

The CLS interface offers flexible options for both energy-related and non-energy-related applications. PPC offers a broad product portfolio and extensive expertise in the field of CLS.

Certified

All PPC SMGWs are certified according to BSI-CC-PP-0073 and BSI TR-03109-1 Version 1.1, have a type approval certificate in accordance with PTB-A 50, and are FNN-compliant (SLAAC).

Flexibility

To help you successfully roll out your service across the entire region, PPC offers SMGWs with all communication technologies: LTE, LTE450, broadband powerline, and Ethernet.

Plug & Play

Informative LEDs and the PPC NMS Connector app ensure easy, plug-and-play installation.

Delivery Capacity

Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, up to 1,700,000 SMGWs are produced annually at the new manufacturing facility.

Features

The PPC SMGW models feature all the functions that have proven themselves over many years of field use. These include the TAFs 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 14, as well as the HKS 1 through 5. In addition, PPC is continuously developing further innovative features based on market needs and customer requests.
