Meteringchina will host Freescale's smart meters
Freescale Semiconductor
Freescale smart meters
Freescale Semiconductor will demonstrate its latest smart metering platform solutions at the Meteringchina Conference and Exhibition, to be held 26-28 May.
Many governments, service providers and system and component suppliers are currently collaborating to develop smart meters for residential buildings.
The aim is to create a self-healing electrical grid that is as intelligent and interactive as the internet.
Freescale's demonstrations will highlight a range of smart metering technologies, such as cost-effective single-phase metering, automated meter reading (AMR), over power-line modems (PLM) and wireless AMR solutions based on Zigbee Smart Energy technology.
Target metering applications for Freescale's product portfolio include energy-consumption measurement for electricity; air and liquid flow for gas; water and heat meters; user interfaces; last-mile communications through power line modems; and energy gateways for home-area networking.
