CuMA430 proposluons for uullues
Telecommunication need for utilities
Sync of production and usage of energy
This brings high demands for the telecom
infrastructure.

1. Future proof > 15 to 20 years.
2. High security
3. High availability
4. Superior indoor coverage
5. Interoperability of hardware
6. International standards
7. Low TCO

Smart grid: (near) real-time communication to
control the grid.

Smart meter: secure communication, data
collection and control of energy endpoints.

3. PLC/GPRS Current issues
PLC
Issue Impact Status
Limited and unreliable communication Performance barely meets
prescribed requirements and does
not meet future requirements
Opportunities for research on
performance improvement
Weak legal position in case of transmission
failure
High probability of re-visit of sites
per address to repair problems.
European initiatives have been
launched to improve EMS
regulation for PLC
Network coverage/penetration variable and
unpredictable
Relatively high rollout costs and
administrative expenses
Improvement uncertain
High maintenance/management Relatively high management effort Improvement uncertain
GPRS
Issue Impact Status
The maintenance of GPRS as a national
service is very uncertain. The required term
of 15 years will probably not be met
Early replacement of the entire
amount of GPRS modules in the
field
Final decision is not expected
for 2013
Technical lifespan of crucial components of
GPRS does not meet the requirements
High risk for re-visit within life-span
for repair/maintenance issues
Improvement uncertain
Communication performance will probably
not be sufficient for increasing bandwith
and communicatino needs during lifespan
High risk for re-visit within life-span Performance improvement not
possible (higher bandwidth not
possible)

CDMA450 seems a good alternative
Comparison of Alternatives PLC GPRS CDMA All-IP
Maintenance & Failures (Stability) Sufficient Good Very good Good
Lifespan network > 20 years Limited > 20 years > 20 years
Smart Grid ready technology No Yes Yes Yes
Data security / privacy Sufficient Strong Very strong Reasonable
Technology maturity Moderate Very good Very good Very good
Coverage (Permeability) Good Good Very good Good
Coverage (Geographical) Good Good Very good Reasonable
Piggyback on other applications Moderate Reasonable Very good Moderate
Degree of influence on the network Very good Moderate Very good Moderate
Consumer acceptance Risk Good Good Good
