Page 8: Getting Started: Routing Node-Ert Gateway Mesh
G etting Started: Routing Node-ERT Gateway Mesh The Routing Node-ERT Gateway Mesh provides a unified means of reading Itron R300/R400 electric meters over an IPv6 network. The ERT Gateway Mesh communicates directly with the Connected Grid Router (CGR). The gateway utilizes RF links with optimized modulation rates. The CGR then transmits the data to the OpenWay Operations Center (a part of the head-end system) over the utility's backhaul communication solution. -
