The single phase and three phase Smart Meter families cover applications for Residential, Commercial and Industrial AMI Metering in which EnVerv’s EV8000 Power-Line Communications (PLC) modem will be employed as the communication platform.
Holley Group Electric (Thailand) managing director Frank Shou said: "We selected EnVerv as our AMI technology partner for Thailand due to their successful field tests in Thailand and their proven performance under challenging network conditions.
"Integrating EnVerv’s multi-protocol modems allow our AMI trials and deployments to be future proof against any changes in AMI communications standards while also enabling switching of the network between standards of PRIME or G3-PLC."
EnVerv senior vice president Reza Mirkhani said: "We are very pleased to have been selected by the Holley Metering as their strategic AMI communications partner.
"Holley Metering’s international foot print continues to expand in South East Asia and we are proud to be their selected AMI partner of choice."
The EV8000 is a single-chip PLC SoC with programmable frequency bands, covering CENELEC-A, FCC and ARIB bands without the need for hardware changes. Furthermore, the EV8000 soft-modem can be programmed to operate in ITU-T G.9903 (G3-PLC), ITU-T G.9904 (PRIME), IEEE P1901.2 and IEC-61334 (S-FSK) modes simply by downloading their respective firmware code to the chip remotely over the power line network.
