Eppeltone Custom Communication Modules for Smart Metering


Flexible, Scalable, Built-to-Order Communication Modules


Eppeltone offers on-demand, fully customizable communication modules specifically designed for smart metering and utility IoT applications. These modules are ideal for utilities, OEMs, and integrators looking for a communication solution tailored to specific operational, regulatory, and infrastructural requirements.

Unlike off-the-shelf products, our custom modules are manufactured to your specification — supporting hybrid technologies, protocol flexibility, and mechanical integration options that align with your system design.


Key Capabilities

  • Hybrid Communication Support
    • Combine RF Mesh and 4G/5G Cellular in a single module

    • Enable GPRS fallback for legacy compatibility

    • Seamless failover between technologies for high availability

  • Protocol Compatibility
    • Full support for DLMS/COSEM and IEC 62056 protocols

    • Optional support for Modbus, MQTT, REST API, or proprietary stacks

  • Flexible Interfaces
    • RS232 / RS485 / Optical Port (IEC 62056-21)

    • USB, SPI, UART or TTL (for embedded integration)

  • Wi-Fi / Proprietary Wireless Options
    • Optional Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5GHz) module integration

    • Custom radio (ISM band) or long-range proprietary protocols on request

  • Built-in or External Mounting
    • Can be internally embedded into the meter’s chassis

    • Or externally mounted via weatherproof enclosures (IP65/IP67)

    • External options support pole-mount, wall-mount, and meter-housing installation

  • Power Supply Options
    • Can be powered via meter internal DC rails (3.3V / 5V / 12V)

    • Or equipped with independent external power input port (5–24V DC)

    • Low-power design for solar/battery backed systems


Custom Integration Options

  • Custom OBIS code mapping

  • Native integration with proprietary HES or cloud platforms

  • Firmware extensibility for future protocol upgrades

  • Integrated SIM/eSIM provisioning

  • Support for multi-meter aggregation (1:N)


Built for Harsh Environments

  • Operating range: -40°C to +85°C, 5–95% RH non-condensing

  • Materials selected for UV exposure, dust, moisture, and EMI resistance

  • Enclosures can be customized to comply with IP65/IP67 and IK08 impact standards


Applications

  • AMI and AMR deployments across electricity, water, and gas sectors

  • Off-grid and low-connectivity zones requiring hybrid connectivity

  • Retrofitting legacy meters with modern communication stacks

  • Custom industrial automation and energy monitoring use cases


Made-to-Order Engineering

Whether you’re building a national AMI system or a niche industrial metering application, Eppeltone’s custom communication modules give you the freedom to define what you need: – Communication protocol – Mechanical design and size – Interface types and pinouts – Power input range – Software stack and integration API.


Collaborate with our engineering team to design a future-ready communication module that fits your business and your devices — perfectly.
