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.
