OUR SMART AMI GATEWAY & DATA CONCENTRATOR

StarGateDC is an industrial-grade Smart Data Concentrator and Multi-Utility IoT Gateway engineered for massive-scale Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). The device simultaneously aggregates telemetry from up to 250 Wired M-Bus meters, 128 Wireless M-Bus meters, 32 RS-485 multi-drop electricity meters, and dynamic RF Mesh clusters — concentrating over 500+ electricity, water, gas, and BTU meters into a unified edge hub.

StarGateDC Hardware & Concentration Architecture

High-density multi-utility concentration with military-grade security and carrier-redundant uplinks

In high-density commercial complexes and distribution transformer stations, deploying individual cellular modems for hundreds of sub-meters is cost-prohibitive and difficult to maintain.

StarGateDC acts as the unified regional bridge. It continuously polls diverse meters over physical wires and local Sub-GHz RF frequencies, parses heterogeneous meter registers locally, buffers months of offline billing data, and securely transmits compressed payloads to the central Head-End System (HES).

Wired M-Bus (250 Loads) Wireless M-Bus 868 MHz RS-485 Modbus RTU Sub-GHz RF Mesh Dual SIM 4G / LTE-M DIN-Rail Mount IP54

Integrated supercapacitor power backup ensures that in the event of grid blackout, StarGateDC transmits instantaneous "Last Gasp" outage alerts to notify the distribution utility immediately.

Data Concentration & Forwarding Lifecycle

High-throughput telemetry ingestion, edge normalization, and cloud transmission in three seamless steps

STEP 01

Multi-Bus Meter Polling

StarGateDC systematically queries connected electricity, water, gas, and heat meters over M-Bus, Modbus, and RF Mesh at scheduled intervals.

STEP 02

Edge Normalization & Buffering

Onboard Linux runtime converts vendor-specific telegrams into standard DLMS/COSEM and JSON structures, storing records on 8GB industrial eMMC memory.

STEP 03

Encrypted Cloud Forwarding

Compressed data frames stream over TLS/HTTPS/MQTT cellular uplink directly to the utility Head-End System (HES) and MDM.
