Smart Energy
Building Sustainable Energy Management Systems
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have developed products that help energy providers and end-users monitor and reduce overall energy consumption. Antenna Company’s wide range of Smart Energy antenna products support critical infrastructure, smart meters and cellular routers. Whether the application requires solutions for outdoor or indoor operation, external or embedded integration, residential or commercial use, Antenna Company has a solution designed for that purpose.
Critical Infrastructure
Real time coordination of the rising electricity demand is key to match the increasingly variable production of energy by sustainable sources. A mismatch in supply and demand leads to cascading power outages and eventually systemic blackouts. A smarter grid is therefore critical for a stable and successful energy transition.
The Antenna Company provides connectivity solutions that enable energy providers to utilize private or public networks operating in the 410/450 MHz or 4G frequency bands.
Smart Meter
Intelligent or “Smart” meters enable secure, bi-directional data communication necessary for smart grids.
Through cellular, ISM band or410/450 MHz LTE connectivity, energy providers can obtain meter readings and usage remotely, which eliminates the need for on-site readings.
Antenna Company’s smart meter antennas play vital role in enabling reliable connectivity to the smart grid.
RF Coupler
RF coupler products are offered to provide high voltage isolation for external antennas used to extend wireless range in a wide variety of applications, including off-network Smart Utility Meters, Residential & Commercial Smart Meters, LED Street Lighting and Substation monitoring.
>10kV electrical isolation enables safe routing of the RF signal from the NIC or wireless modem to a remote external antenna
