Purpose-Built for Modular Metering
Modular Design for Easy Integration
Designed to plug into the modem socket of compatible modular meters, enabling cellular communication without a separate external gateway.
Reliable 2G/4G Connectivity
LTE Cat.1 connectivity, automatic reconnection, and built-in watchdog mechanisms help maintain reliable communication across distributed metering sites.
Standard Metering Protocols
Supports IEC 62056-21 Mode C and DLMS/COSEM for communication with compatible meters and automated data collection.
Head-End System Connectivity
Supports MASS, VIKO, TeleMetriX Head-End, and MQTT/MQTTS for data communication with compatible meter data collection systems.
Flexible Interfaces for Meter Integration
Dual RS485 ports, one digital input, and one latching relay output support connectivity and integration with metering equipment.
Built-in Security Features
AES-128 encryption, ECDHE, and authentication for sensitive serial-port operations help protect metering communications and device access.
