Solution Summary

JNE’s Network Interface Card (NIC) module is a ready-to-use solution for smart metering using the onboard RA2E1/32Pin ARM MCU chip (RA2E1 - 48MHz Arm® Cortex®-M23 Entry Level General-Purpose Microcontroller | Renesas). NIC (Network Interface card) is an extended communication card in Smart meter. NIC can easily integrate with electricity meters (1-Phase & 3-Phase) and leverages any available network to form a highly resilient network for the utility. NIC supports 2-way wireless (GPRS, NBIOT, etc.) functionality, remote data acquisition, meter program management, and real-time alerts for meter tampering and outages info to Utilities. 2-way communications network gives utilities greater efficiency, more reliable data delivery, improved customer satisfaction, and a scalable platform to support advanced smart grid and smart city applications.
