Validation of hybrid communications
Smart Meters with hybrid communication capabilities can be freely mixed with Smart Meters supporting G3-PLC communications only.
Optimized routing for reliable and optimal communication
It is anticipated that other suppliers will provide Smart Meters using hybrid communication in the near future. The G3-PLC Alliance announced certification testing by the end of this year.
