EMH Metering and Corinex Validate Broadband Powerline Communication Technology
EMH Metering Partners with Corinex to Validate Broadband Powerline Communication
In a significant advancement for the digitalization of electrical distribution networks, EMH Metering and Corinex have successfully validated the CASA Smart Meter Gateway (SMGW) for use with Corinex's Broadband Powerline (BPL) technology. This collaboration marks a milestone in the enhancement of connectivity within electrical distribution systems.
The validation process took place at Corinex's testing facility in Bratislava, where the CASA SMGW was integrated with the Corinex 1T BPL modem. Through extensive testing, the ability to transmit data between the devices was confirmed, demonstrating total compatibility and establishing a solid foundation for future implementations.
Peter Sobotka, CEO of Corinex, expressed the importance of this achievement by stating, "The Broadband Powerline technology provides an effective base for the modernization and digitalization of electricity distribution networks. Successfully demonstrating the interoperability between our modem and CASA represents a significant milestone in this process." This technology will ultimately facilitate better communication and data exchange, essential for smart grid functionalities on a larger scale.
Adding to Sobotka's remarks, Peter Heuell, CEO of EMH Metering, emphasized that their customers can now leverage BPL connectivity thanks to the use of this gateway. He remarked, "This step is crucial for implementing smart meter gateway deployments, especially in areas where cellular connectivity may fall short."
