During the session, attendees will discover the Unified PLC Modem, a standardized hardware and firmware communication platform designed to support multiple PLC standards through a common communication architecture. The webinar will examine how a vendor-neutral and interoperable approach can reduce development effort, accelerate time-to-market, lower costs, and enable more scalable smart grid deployments. It will also highlight how standardization is transforming the smart metering ecosystem and driving the adoption of advanced grid technologies.

The webinar will cover the challenges and opportunities associated with communication interoperability in smart metering environments, including:

🔹 The reality and complexity of AMI solutions

🔹 Foundations of communication standardization

🔹 Previous efforts toward unification

🔹 Overview of the proposed system architecture

🔹 Mechanical solution and design considerations

🔹 Supported communication protocols

🔹 Firmware interface

🔹 Security aspects

🔹 The impact of interoperability and interchangeability
