It is a very secure platform that can be deployed on-premise or on a cloud. Software built on cloud-based technologies can be leveraged to connect and manage millions of devices such as meters, EV charging controllers, Solar inverters, distribution automation assets, and other sensors and devices that may get deployed during the expansion of the smart city.
Smart City Metering Head End
Smart city metering head-end plays a significant role in the IoT in the energy sector. The metering head-end helps to integrate the meter data management system into utility applications. Besides the network gateways are also commanded by the smart city metering head end, which helps to forestall the overload into the network. Most of the utility companies use a two-way communication system that is between smart meters and headend systems. Smart city metering head-end equips data transmissions and reception, also directs the operations of smart meters, further helping to store load data in a regular interval which supports B2B customer billing. Our smart city metering head-end system is feature-rich and compatible with various energy meters.
Major Advantages
