Connecting the Utility to the Customer

Silver Spring and Landis+Gyr have teamed up to deliver a family of meters with the two-way, real time communications needed for the smart grid. The L+G E350 U-Series meter offers a wealth of features and functions that improve utilities’ operational models and enables them to connect with their customers over the Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform.

L+G U-Series meters include a field-upgradable, hot-swappable Communications Module, offering complete flexibility to address future needs. These meters feature a unique, patented modular design that enables a transition from a traditional to a smart meter, without replacing the installed meter. Advanced metering functions such as remote reading of interval data, time-of-use pricing, and other events are supported by U-Series meters. The meter and Communications Module are configurable via the secure optical port or over the air.

The Silver Spring Communications Module supports dynamic discovery and self-healing, dramatically simplifying initial deployment and on-going reliable communications. The Communications Module notifies the Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform of outages and restorations, ensuring greater efficiency while improving customer satisfaction. The scalability of the platform lets utilities support a range of smart grid services – both today and tomorrow.
