1. Grid Wide IoT Gateway
Supports open standards and technologies, with open interfaces that
provide support for proprietary gas-meter reading protocols and a wide
range of radio modulations and frequencies.
The IoT Gateway uses point-to-multipoint network architecture and is fully integrated with
the Grid Wide platform. It transmits data from multiple smart meters or sensors to the
cloud-based Grid Wide application via the Verizon 4G LTE private network.
Features and benefits:
• Provides utilities with an extensible, open-based solution that helps
avoid proprietary technology lock-in
• Simplifies deployment and migration to Verizon Smart Metering solution
and helps reduce infrastructure costs
• Highly distributed, centrally managed, secure policy-based
management and control, streamlines scheduled or on-demand meter
reading and operations
• Flexible installation options, making scaling and expanding your
intelligent water system quick and easy

2. How the IoT Gateway works
Data is transmitted via point-to-multipoint topology over a variety of
open and proprietary wireless protocols from multiple smart meters
and sensors to the IoT Gateway. Then data moves across the
Verizon 4G LTE private network to the cloud-based Grid Wide
application, where utilities can access it.
