Description
NXP connectivity solutions for smart metering address the challenges smart cities face for reliable, secure communications for remote metering and home energy management. We enable remote metering with NAN technologies like IEEE® 802.15.4 and Wireless MBUS. Additionally, NXP fosters smart energy management inside homes with HAN technologies like ZigBee®.
Flow meters help smart cities measure the volume of natural gas or water at a specific time or over a long period. The measurement is then displayed on low-power segment LCDs, often driven by segment LCD drivers on a MCU.
Advanced flow meters incorporate RF communication interfaces for connecting to one-way or two-way RF meter reading systems.
Features
- Cost of the devices in the system
- Reliability of the devices in the system in harsh outdoor environments
- Battery life of the system, > 10 years
- Security to guard against tampering
- Communication interface requirements
- Ability to expand and update the system in the field
