Smart Metering
Electricity meters become smart with the help of our communications technologies. Our smart meter gateways and communications technologies ensure highly secure data communication. This offers data access to the end customer, the utility and other stakeholders without compromising end user privacy or endangering the security of the grid.
As the rollout of smart meters proceeds, and even where smart meters are not available, we are helping our customers to achieve their data communication goals efficiently and successfully, supporting them in all processes related to the planning, installation and operation of the communications infrastructure.

Controllable devices in the home must be interoperable, BSI mandates
The German Technical Standards Authority (BSI) wants to accelerate interoperability in IoT PPC has been chosen for a fast track development program, thanks to its leadership in data communications.
500 submetering devices deployed in the field
The current rollout of smart metering systems is not only creating a basis for the remote reading of measured values, but also a future-proof infrastructure for a more flexible, digitalised energy world. In submetering in particular, models from many different manufacturers need to be read and billed. PPC has developed the "CLS Adapter Submetering", now in its second generation, for this purpose.
Long-time partners formalize cooperation: PPC joins EEBus e.V.
After a long successful cooperation in many projects, PPC is now also formally a member of EEBus e.V. The symbiosis between PPC's product portfolio and EEBUS as a protocol for applications upstream and downstream of the grid connection is thus further strengthened.
Mainzer Netze relies on BPL for smart grid monitoring and smart metering systems
Mainzer Netze GmbH is systematically preparing its grid infrastructure for the challenges of the Energiewende and the expansion of e-mobility. The core element of the digital infrastructure is the use of Broadband Powerline technology.
