Smart Grid Applications
SynapMesh is a tailor-made communication protocol for wireless smart meter networks operating on the sub-GHz narrowband spectrum.
Our cutting edge technology provides electricity companies with the last-mile mesh connectivity to connect smart meters everywhere. We employ best systems engineering practices to ensure that the network is highly scalable, extremely reliable and easy to install and maintain. The network also provides the high level of communication security and system availability needed for mission-critical operations.
One of the major obstacles to achieve the Smart Grid is the last-mile connectivity for devices that need only intermittent transmission of small amounts of data. While GSM and 3G/4G cellular networks theoretically can do the job today and cover most of the inhabited parts of the world, having a subscription for each IoT device may not be economically feasible.
Devices such as power meters are often put in places such as stairwells or basements in large concrete buildings where extension is required to provide wireless coverage. In rural areas of developing countries, smart metering is highly desirable, but cellular networks for IoT applications may not even exist.
With the flexibility in connectivity and cloud-based provisioning application, roll-outs can be done in phases as network planning is simple and data storage is scalable. Easily adapted to various meter types and interface standards, agnostic to the wireless radio technology used, the Synap IoT Network solution is designed already from the beginning to suit small rural power providers as well as large metropolitan utilities.
