Key Features of NES System Software

NES system software takes advantage of NES’s local intelligence to reduce data deluge and WAN costs. It enables on-demand reads, instant diagnostics, power outage detection, verification and restoration, move-in/move-out, and secure remote disconnect/reconnect services. Simplified, automated management of communication schedules is also made possible for collecting meter billing reads, on-demand data, reads, events, alarms, power-quality data, and load profiles. All communication is encrypted with enhanced security features and advanced OSGP-AES-128-PSK security is supported.

Secure

Built on industry
leading security features

Reliable

Provides 99.7%
to 100% data availability

Extensible

Enables a full range
of smart grid applications

Proven and Built to Scale

• Capable of scaling to a 5-million meter network
• Uses any standard IP network to communicate with NES Data Concentrators, Distributed Control Nodes, and other utility and non-utility assets
• Backward-compatible and extensible architecture protects investment.

Local Intelligence Reduces Data Deluge

• Two-way grid intelligence for a more stable, reliable, and smarter grid
• Visibility for lowering grid infrastructure lifecycle costs.

Multi-Application Platform Built to Reduce Operational Costs

• Supports sensor assignment and commissioning
• Large-scale demand response and load control
• Automated collection of events, alarms, load profiles, and meter-billing, demand, and power-quality data
• Provides instant diagnostics, power-outage detection verification and restoration, secure remote disconnect/reconnect services.

Open and Built on Industry Standards to Reduce IT Costs

• SOA with SOAP/XML enables easy integration with utility middleware, meter data-management systems, and Web services-aware applications and infrastructure from leading providers.
