Data concentrators supervise distributed meters
Echelon Corp has unveiled the DC-1000/SL data concentrator for its networked energy services (NES) advanced metering system.
Revenue to Echelon for the project, including meters, data concentrators and software, is expected to total approximately US $18 million.
Volume shipments should begin in the fourth quarter of 2008 and to continue into 2010.
The NES advanced metering infrastructure from Echelon consists of a family of highly integrated, advanced electronic electricity meters accessed via a web services based network operating system over an IP networking infrastructure Unlike systems with a dedicated radio per metering point, multiple NES meters can share a single IP connection through the use of Echelon's proven standards-based power line networking technology.
This drives down the per-point connection cost and enables the system to easily and cost-effectively incorporate new wide area networking technologies over the life of the system.
