WSI contracted to develop RF solution for Power Metering System for the Swedish company Iprobe.

WSI has made an agreement with Iprobe AB to develop a RF module for the Iprobe remote metering system for the domestic and industrial energy markets. The system is built around an electricity meter with integrated communication for remote reading. The solution is based on the latest PLC technology which is patent approved from Iprobe.

The radio module developed by WSI will enable data collection from various metering points in the surroundings of the metering system. The radio module can also be used as a back up to PLC giving the system even more redundancy.

"This assignment is intriguing and we are well prepared for the task. Iprobe’s solution is not only one of its kinds; the design also provides a very simple deployment that significantly reduces cost of ownership.
" says Mr Jan-Åke Lindqvist, CEO of WSI.

"Developing a product like this takes skills. We are therefore very happy to work together with WSI as our RF development partner. WSI helps us to ensure that Iprobe’s revolutionary technology maintains its unique advantages," says Mr Johan Asplund, CEO of Iprobe.

Technical System Information
The meter consists of three fuse heads and a logical unit with a display, and is placed in the main fuse box located at the subscriber. The installation takes less than three minutes and can be performed by a layman. No wiring is required. The meter has an IP-type address and is reached by the central system (ISAC™) through TCP/IP.
