The smart meter rollout is moving forward—but despite relevant regulatory requirements, metering for industrial and commercial customers has so far often taken place in a separate, parallel infrastructure that bypasses the smart metering system. The upcoming iRLMsys solutions are designed to close this very gap.

Once a smart meter gateway has been installed and commissioned, personal data is collected. To protect personal data, reuse has therefore not been possible until now. The “DoDeleteUserData” function, which PPC has now implemented, lays the groundwork for reuse and enables an SMGW that has already been put into operation to be reinstalled at a different location.

2026 has demonstrated just how rapidly Nessum is gaining international prominence. Millions of Nessum devices shipped, new applications beyond smart metering, and a growing international ecosystem make it clear: broadband powerline is evolving from a technology for individual markets into a globally deployable communications solution.

Spanning more than 100 m² and featuring more than 1,000 test stations, a modern environment is being created for development and live demonstrations related to the intelligent measurement system, CLS components, communication technologies, and the Network Management System (NMS).

The EEBUS Relais Converter connects digital control commands from the smart meter gateway to analog relay systems—an important bridge for the efficient rollout of control systems in the smart grid.

A new discussion paper shows how the existing infrastructure of the intelligent metering system (iMSys) can be further developed from a primarily reactive approach to a preventive, market-oriented control system. At the heart of this is the envelope curve concept based on the EEBUS Use Case POEN.
