Metrum Cellular® LTEThe faster, easier, secure way to connect your distribution network

Aclara Metrum Cellular® LTE is the first 4G LTE smart grid solution in the industry delivering your critical data on high-speed, private networks over public infrastructure. By eliminating the overhead of maintaining your own communication system, utilities quickly see a return on their investment by discovering problems faster and easily controlling their grid infrastructure because of our reliable, low-latency data network.

• TCP/IP connectivity to every endpoint device

• Supports full two-way near real-time communications with the meter

• Protocol and meter agnostic

• Embeds x.509 certificates in connected devices

• Utilizes utilities’ private key infrastructures

• Network IP addresses are private and non-routable from the public Internet

• Plug-and-play deployment (no field configuration)

• Over-the-air firmware upgrades for Metrum LTE modules and all connected devices

• Reconfigure meters over the air

• Direct communications to SCADA via DNP

• Direct communications from MV-90 to commercial meters

Aclara Metrum Cellular® LTE endpoint modules support all of your critical applications, including commercial and industrial (C&I) metering automation, residential metering automation, demand response, remote service disconnect/ reconnect applications and telemetry or monitoring. Whether used for a full-deployment, legacy replacement, or as a fill-in to an existing AMI solution, all utility types benefit fromthe upgraded speed, security and capabilities of Metrum Cellular® LTE.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Partnering with multiple carriers, Metrum Cellular® LTE securely delivers data to existing devices located almost anywhere in the United States without the extra cost and headache of maintaining your own communication network. Metrum Cellular® LTE modules connect to any existing devices out of the box and is ideal for high-value applications where large amounts of data must be collected in real-time. Metrum Cellular® LTE requires no additional infrastructure – devices are preconfigured to plug into your network and immediately start delivering your data. Metrum Cellular® LTE also provides a new level of security for your distribution network. By utilizing your public key infrastructure, you can distribute and control the security certificates in each device, which come configured with a private, static IP address invisible to the public internet.
