Today we are announcing the launch of a new product that will significatively innovate in the Smart Metering market for PRIME devices: The first actual implementation of virtual PRIME concentrators, in collaboration with Teldat.

PRIME DHE Server significantly reduces the costs of installing PRIME data concentrators, replacing them with 3G PLC routers from manufacturer Teldat, which include router functionality and a PLC base node for that technology on the same device.

What is PRIME DHE Server?

It is a software product that implements virtual concentrators that are able to access the PRIME meters through the Teldat PLC 3G devices.

Thus, instead of installing a PRIME hub plus a router in a transformation center, it is only necessary to install the Teldat PLC 3G (router + PLC base node), lowering the installation costs and, at the same time, simplifying the management of the devices.

PRIME DHE Server is a product that is designed to beinstalled in the customer's dispatch office, allowing to centralize communications with the devices.

A single PRIME DHE Server device is able to manage up to one hundred virtual PRIME concentrators.

More information is available in this brochure.

The following is a simple diagram with this new scenario for PRIME meters.
