Enhanced Interoperability


3rd party device support

Landis+Gyr's Gridstream software enables integration of 3rd party devices The device driver interface in

Gridstream AIM and HES systems enables easy development of new P2P meter support– The service will be piloted with selected

customers during 2014


Device Driver Concept

Device Gateway = interface in the system for the drivers

Device Driver = meter specific plug-in to the gateway

Drivers are implemented for each device type separately, whereas the gateway and services do not require changes – this allows faster and easier implementation of 3rd party meter support

G3 inFCC band*

*) PLAN – G3 coexistence mode possible


Unleashed bandwidth

G3 PLC offers, when operated in FCC band, up to 10x the data bandwidth of any Cenelec A band PLC technology

Customer benefits: Such a massive increase of the data bandwidth

will enable many future use cases for smart metering and beyond

Other devices besides the meter (e.g. load switch, display, PV, PA) could be connected to the PLC network


Communication robustness

G3 is designed to be in first priority reliable in harsh & challenging environments. It offers a robust fallback mode (ROBO mode) in difficult situations.

Customer benefits: High communication success rate

Immunity to field disturbances

Overall solution stability

Real time access to all devices


Combining G3 PLC with (IDIS) Gridstream

The combination of G3 PLC with our IDIS compliant Gridstream Solution will increase customer benefits Customer benefits: State-of-the-art robust technology Increased bandwidth for new services The only established and proven end-to-end solution on the market Minimal risk at technology, stranded investments and service discontinuation True and proven interoperability between different manufactures (IDIS devices) Minimal integration cost / effort for the utility A clear migration path from PLAN to G3 Gridstream supported by migration tools

As a result: Maximum technology – lowest risk – and investment protection of our customers
