With 4G LTE capacity and speed, Aclara’s Metrum Cellular® LTE is an IP-enabled solution that leverages existing public wireless infrastructure. It offers a private, high-speed and secure communications network and enables utilities to do more on their networks. Metrum Cellular® creates new efficiencies for Smart Grid applications such as AMI, outage management and restoration, Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR), and Volt/Var Optimization (VVO). Metrum Cellular® also serves as a key element in utility hybrid network implementations. It complements other communication systems to best take advantage of the strengths of each.
