Data concentrators manage devices on the power line network and provide the connectivity infrastructure between meters and the NES System Software.
- Manages up to 1,024 NES meters and 4,096 associated M-Bus devices
- Collects and reports meter data, including consumption and power quality
- Can be installed at any point in the low voltage network topology, including behind a poly-phase, transformer-operated or single-phase meter, to allow optimal modem connectivity and minimal installation costs
- Internal modem bay accepts and powers readily-available standard wired and wireless modems
- Communicates with the NES System Software using standard TCP/IP-capable wide area networks such as GSM, GPRS, CDMA, BPL, and traditional analog telephone service
- Uses authenticated and encrypted transactions with devices for enhanced power line communications security
- Enclosure tested to IP56; severe-duty enclosure optional
- Suitable for use in IEC and ANSI markets
