Solar Manager and PPC achieve a breakthrough in the exchange of dynamic price information via TOUT
Dynamic electricity tariffs offer a simple way of giving end customers immediate access to the benefits of smart metering systems (iMSys). However, the transmission of metering data relevant to billing is only part of what the iMSys is capable of. PPC and Solar Manager have now successfully demonstrated that tariff and price information can also be transferred to the property and used there for local optimisation. The new EEBUS certification goes significantly beyond the previous EEBUS pilot qualifications.
PPC Successfully Completes EEBUS Certification as First Provider
PPC is the first provider to successfully complete the new EEBUS certification. This confirms that, within the certified scope of functionality, the PPC solution meets the requirements of the EEBUS specifications and interoperates seamlessly with other EEBUS-certified devices. The new EEBUS certification goes significantly beyond the previous EEBUS pilot qualifications.
6 million Nessum IPs shipped – technology becomes the leading BPL standard worldwide
With Daikin Industries Ltd. in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) sector and Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) in the smart metering sector, two members of the Nessum Alliance are demonstrating how IEEE 1901-based technology can be integrated into existing infrastructures.
5G RedCap for Smart Meter Rollout: E.ON Grid Solutions, Westnetz, Telefónica Deutschland, and PPC Test New Mobile Communication Technology
Telefónica Deutschland, E.ON Grid Solutions, Westnetz, and Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) have successfully tested 5G RedCap as a new mobile communication technology for smart meter gateways. To do this, a 5G RedCap-enabled smart meter gateway from PPC was connected to the meter operator’s backend systems via Telefónica Deutschland’s 700-MHz network. This allowed the partners to simulate the entire communication chain under conditions close to real-world scenarios—from the smart meter gateway through the cellular network to the meter operator’s systems.

Energy Metering Becomes the First Metering Point Operator to Sign an SMGWplus Contract with PPC
With the SMGWplus, Energy Metering aims to further advance the digitization and scaling of its rollout. At the same time, the solution lays the groundwork for new and existing B2B partnerships. The company has set a goal of digitizing more than 1 million metering points in the coming years. The SMGWplus expands the functionality of the smart meter gateway beyond mere meter reading transmission. The software update enables SMGWs to securely control systems and consumption devices directly from the SMGW
