Measurement Accuracy Class 1.0 RF Lora Wan Technology Featuring STS Standard

Product Description:

The Stron Smart Data Concentrator Unit STC18-A is specifically designed for Smart Metering applications. It serves as a gateway that connects metering devices with the AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) and AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) systems, facilitating efficient data exchange.

The STC18-A supports two-way communication, enabling seamless interaction between metering points and the AMR/AMI system. It performs various essential functions such as task configuration, data collection, data transmission, and data storage. In addition, it manages meter operations, executes GPRS-related information tasks, and oversees the RF network management.

Moreover, the ST368 unit optimizes communication by utilizing LORA-RF technology for downlink transmissions to smart meters, while relying on GPRS for uplink communication. This combination ensures reliable and efficient data flow within the smart metering network.

Features:

This device is fully compliant with the STS standard, ensuring compatibility and reliability in various applications.

It supports LORA-RF technology for downlink communication to smart meters, enabling efficient and stable data transmission.

The system utilizes GPRS uplink communication to connect with a head-end AMR/AMI system, facilitating seamless data integration and management.

Data collection capabilities include recording total consumption as well as historical daily and monthly usage, providing detailed insights into energy consumption patterns.

The meter also supports monitoring of various parameters such as meter status and real-time data reading. Additionally, it can automatically detect and upload tamper event records to ensure security.

Thanks to its BS mounting design, the device is easy to install, making deployment quick and convenient.

Technical Parameters:
