Radio gateways enable energy efficiency
eDevice has developed a new energy management service to help control and reduce electricity and water consumption.
eDevice has developed a new energy management service to help control and reduce electricity and water consumption Based on its wireless GPRS and LAN gateway technology and IDeMS middleware, the energy-demand management services use eDevice gateways to transfer electricity, water, or gas meter readings from users' homes to EDF Energy's (France's national utility company) processing servers

Comms terminal puts industrial equipment online
eDindus is a communications terminal for connecting industrial equipment to the Internet over GPRS, PSTN (V90 ISP) and Ethernet networks.
This service is currently offered in France by the company Edelia.
This simple and innovative service provides detailed information on consumption with a consumer alarm service if leaks or abnormal differences in consumption are detected.
eDevice gateways record meter readings transmitted by radio from electricity, gas and water meters and transmit them over the Internet via customers' ADSL/cable routers or via the GPRS network.
This data are then archived and transferred by IDeMS, the middleware supplied by eDevice, to Edelia's consumption analysis servers.
IDeMS also detects anomalies and carries out remote maintenance on all installed gateways.
"The affordability of eDevice gateways, their usability enabling installation by the end-user, and their compatibility with GPRS networks and LANs mean that we can reach a broad public while staying focused on data analysis to optimise consumption", says Jacques Allard, President of Edelia.
