Communication technology is evolving fast. If the utilities want to participate in the opportunities offered by new communication technology, substantial investments in communication infrastructure, terminal units, meters and systems for meter management will be necessary. DLMS helps to optimise investments by guaranteeing the interoperability of the equipment from different manufacturers. Existing meters (in stock or in use) can be combined with new devices.

Independent
DLMS is independent of the communication medium and grants interoperability of meters of different manufacturers in multi-media communication systems and multi functional applications. This independence makes the buying decision easy.

Expandable
DLMS enables easy expandability of existing systems (plug-and-play). It is not necessary to adopt further communication equipment. This results in lower overhead costs and simpler system configuration.
