nFG, Frequency Gateway

Multi-frequency and Multi-protocol PRIME device

Multi Frequency

Concurrent transmission and reception on both frequency-bands, f1 and f2. No loss of data due to parallel operation on both frequency-bands

Creates one, single homogenous PRIME network at Base Node, that includes devices/meters in orthogonal frequency-band, f2

Multi Protocol

Join and extend a PRIME v1.4 network to two frequency-bands

A pair of nFG devices can create an up-banded zone in a PRIME v1.3 network, totally transparent to v1.3 devices

Performs protocol translation between PRIME v1.4 to PRIME v1.3, enabling PRIME v1.3 devices to join a PRIME v1.4 network in one of the FCC frequency-bands

Interoperable with field installed 3rd party gateways, data-concentrators and meters. No customization and/or additional configuration requirement

Small form-factor, extends installation possibilities across different locations with limited space

Define your own schedule of migration to PRIME v1.4 without dependence on suppliers

nFG enables selective replacement of meters, based on your choice and selection. No need to plan complete replacement of ALL meters in a Substaiton.

Legacy PRIME v1.3 meters connect through nFG with your PRIME v1.4 DC/Gateway

nFG will perform protocol conversion from PRIME v1.4 to PRIME v1.3 and vice-versa

The entire network converges seamlessly comprising different frequency-bands and different protocol versions

Minimize extensive hunt for noise-sources

Frequency selective noise in CENELEC-A impacts performance and requires installing filter at noise source

Up-banding to FCC bands in such noise-zones optimizes stability without need to find noise-sources

One ingress nFG in CENELEC-A up-bands signal to one of FCC frequency-bands

One or more egress nFG close to meters, bring signal back to CENELEC-A
