The BMWi and BSI have published a positive market analysis following the third Gateway certification. PPC-SMGWs have been in the rollout phase since 2018 and are in use at 50 MSBs.
Three smart meter gateways from different manufacturers have been certified by the BSI, and the positive market analysis has been published—marking the start of mandatory installation throughout Germany.
Following its first BSI certification, PPC has nearly completed the further development of the SMGW software and the implementation of new tariff application cases (TAFs).
PPC and BTC offer a proven solution for submetering via a certified smart meter gateway, which opens up a new, investment-safe business opportunity for municipal utilities.
Our Smart Meter Gateway (SMGW) has received the type examination certificate from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). This confirms compliance with the requirements of the German Weights and Measures Act and thus, among others, PTB-A 50.8 for all required tariff use cases (TAF 1, 2, 6, 7). Harz Energie Netz GmbH has successfully put its first BSI-certified 450 MHz Smart Meter Gateways from PPC into operation, reaching a new milestone.
