MDCS Solution

The Kilowaze smart electricity meter is the heart of the MDCS low cost AMI energy measurement solution. The meter in conjunction with the data wireless network provides a cost effective and easy to use electricity measurement and reporting solution for utilities of all sizes.

The meter accurately delivers data on 14 measured variables at intervals from 1 minute to 1 month. KILOWAZE accuracy is certified to ANSI class .5% but actual results are commonly found to measure .02% accuracy.

Measurement data is delivered via the Long Range data network or by on-board WiFi. In addition, the meter is capable of power outage reporting to improve quality of service and has a built-in relay to facilitate remote disconnect to minimize service calls. The Kilowaze meter far exceeds US safety and performance requirements as specified by ANSI.

WHY THE KILOWAZE METER

The KILOWAZE smart meter is low cost.

The clever design of the KILOWAZE meter is a result of 30 years of rich experience in meter metrology. From component selection to packaging, the KILOWAZE meter is ready for high volume, repeatable accuracy. The thoroughness of the development team coverage of this design yields a dependable product at a cost model that challenges any competitor.

The KILOWAZE smart meter has far-ranging technology.

The KILOWAZE meter has sophisticated electronics to measure 14 different variables in the meter. The table below represents data from the meter that is sent via WiFi or Long Range Radio.

Accuracy

The KILOWAZE meter far exceeds the ANSI certification parameters. Although, certified to .5% accuracy, it is not uncommon to find the KILOWAZE meter reading .02% accuracy readings.

The charts below represent actual readings from meter testing.

REMOTE DISCONNECT
Allows Utilities to turn off meters that are not being paid.

POWER OUT REPORT
Gives Utilities an instantaneous view of the size and breath of an outage.

Meter Data is transmitted via Long Range Data network

The Long Range Data network provides a low cost bi-directional communications link between KILOWAZE meters and utility servers. The foundation of this network is a LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) using LoRa® long range radio technology. LoRa, a standards based technology with worldwide acceptance, has a wide communications range, high user capacity and high network security. Its robustness to interference and two way communications capability make it the leading LPWAN technology worldwide.
