FAQ

Smart Meter FAQ

Expert answers about smart meter PCB technology, durability standards and AMI connectivity.

Ask a Specialist
01
How do you ensure a 15-year operational lifespan for smart meters?

We leverage high-stability CAF-resistant substrates and specialized surface finishes (like ENIG or Hard Gold) to prevent corrosion. Combined with high-grade soldering and rigorous environmental testing, our boards are designed for decade-plus field operation.

02
What support do you offer for metrology billing accuracy?

Billing precision depends on clean analog signals. We offer specialized engineering reviews for metrology signal isolation, using split ground planes and high-precision trace tolerances to ensure your ADC captures energy data without digital noise interference.

03
Do you offer protective coatings for outdoor water/gas meters?

Yes. For meters deployed in high-humidity pits or outdoor settings, we provide full automated conformal coating services (Acrylic, Silicone, or Urethane) to prevent moisture ingress and oxidation, critical for long-term reliability.

04
What wireless protocols do you commonly support for smart metering?

Our experienced RF team provides layout optimization for all major AMI communication protocols, including NB-IoT, SIGFOX, LoRa, Wireless M-Bus, Zigbee, and cellular GPRS/LTE networks for remote data collection.
