NTC-1100

KEY FEATURES The NTC-1100 is a high reliability device – designed to act as a communications

gateway for Smart Meters. The device functionality and architecture is compatible with GridNetTM PolicyNetTM software.

The NTC-1100 is installed into the communications bay of the Landis + Gyr U-Series Smart Meter, and is hot-swappable.

The NTC-1100 is penta-band - meaning it is compatible with most 3G networks world-wide. 3G antennas are facilitated using 2 x SMA connectors.

Zigbee® HAN functionality is provided as SEP 1.1 – upgradable to SEP 2.0 in the future (firmware update). Zigbee® antennas are included internally to the product.

Landis+Gyr U-Series compatible plastic housing and meter interface connector.

Multi pack shipping carton

Switch mode power supplies for CPU / ZigBee radio/ 3G module.

Capacitor-based hold up power supply for Last Gasp messaging functionality.
