Need for DLMS

The energy market is being liberalized and there are multiple vendors providing energy measurement solutions. This has created a need for interoperability among different metering systems, power grids and products. DLMS is emerging as the standard of choice in smart metering and it addresses interoperability among: All energy types electricity, gas, heat, water All communication media RS-232, RS-485, PSTN, GSM, GPRS, IPv4 PPP, PLC
