Reading and substation
The same model for a meter, heat, gas and the substation yard.
Energy meters
A meter reading ends in the billing system. Not on the internet.
AMI and remote reading for electricity, heat and gas, connectivity for transformer substations, renewable plant and energy storage. The SIM in the meter or in the concentrator gets a private address.
ExampleExample: an infrastructure operator with AMI meters, transformer substations and a photovoltaic plant. Readings reach billing and SCADA through the tunnel. An illustrative scenario, not a client reference, and not a statement that the entity is essential.
Renewables and storage
A plant and a store do not need a local path to the internet.
Service from SCADA
Entry to the concentrator is from the tunnel.
What bounces off the edge
A meter or a substation controller with a public address is a piece of the sector that can be scanned like an ordinary modem.
LTE, LTE-M or NB-IoT — depending on the device and the operator — joins the private APN. Billing and SCADA see the device from headquarters. Traffic between meters is cut. On a site with no terrestrial coverage, Starlink on Peplink can be the backup, still terminated at the same headquarters.
Security
- No public IP on the meter or the substation controller.
- OT addressing kept apart from the office network.
- The SIM list is the list of devices allowed to report.
Energy is a sector the NIS2 directive names. A private APN supports segmentation and continuity of the reading path. We do not classify the entity and we do not certify KSC compliance.
