CLS Gateway (HKE)
With the Controllable Local Systems (CLS) Gateway and the integrated HKE, a wide variety of applications can be easily connected to the German smart metering system. In its function as a unit for Home Area Network Communications, the CLS Gateway already fulfils all requirements for communication with the CLS interface of the SMGW.
The gateway provides two possible use cases:
