SMGWs
SMGW stands for Smart Meter Gateway. It is a central component in modern smart metering infrastructures, primarily used in electricity and gas networks. The primary function of an SMGW is to securely collect, encrypt, and transmit meter readings from smart meters to energy suppliers and grid operators. It acts as a secure gateway, ensuring that the data is protected during transmission and stored appropriately.
SMGWs are designed to handle the communication between multiple smart meters and the wider telecommunication network.
Security is a paramount concern for SMGWs. They employ robust encryption techniques and authentication protocols to
In addition to data collection and transmission, some SMGWs also support two-way communication. This allows for
