Intelligent Connection
As we know a ‘Smart Plug‘ can connect normal appliances or devices to the Internet via a breakthrough called IoT (Internet of Things). The Plug communicates with the Pixel IoT Platform in the cloud via a 4G LTE mobile network. All the basic features like scheduling and conditional alerts for different use cases are available over the top.
The plug also has Energy Monitoring enabled, where consolidated/real-time data of the appliance/unit connected can be seen on the application/IoT Web Platform.

Energy
4G LTE has immense potential to be a boom for the Energy sector in Industries. A next-generation 4G LTE smart metering solution for the residential sector provides broad territory coverage, low latency, and network longevity, using the fastest 4G LTE technology available today.
- 4G LTE communication is particularly useful for hard-to-reach locations or territories or for opt-in scenarios.
- Due to the low latency of the 4G LTE network, a new solution is also a good option for utilizing smart meters as grid sensors to monitor distribution system conditions.
