Key Features of NES System Software
NES system software takes advantage of NES’s local intelligence to reduce data deluge and WAN costs. It enables on-demand reads, instant diagnostics, power outage detection, verification and restoration, move-in/move-out, and secure remote disconnect/reconnect services. Simplified, automated management of communication schedules is also made possible for collecting meter billing reads, on-demand data, reads, events, alarms, power-quality data, and load profiles. All communication is encrypted with enhanced security features and advanced OSGP-AES-128-PSK security is supported.
