However, when looking to achieve cost effective, reliable coverage across dense, rural and sparse suburban environments, Grid IQ AMI P2MP is the optimal solution. The Grid IQ AMI P2MP Solution is a Point-to-Multipoint or RF “Star” architecture with numerous coverage and throughput benefits ideal for the RF propagation environments from rural to urban. Further, the Network is more than an AMI solution. It is built to support various Grid Modernization applications beyond Smart Metering. RF Mesh offers a cost performance that is best deployed in dense suburban environments. As urban densities increase and suburban densities decrease, the total cost per meter increases drastically for an RF Mesh enabled meter. This is because the network requires the addition of multiple routers and collectors to relay signals through the neighborhood area network as densities decrease. PLC systems perform most cost effectively in deployments with high meterto-transformer ratios. For PLC systems the total cost per meter increases drastically as the ratio of meters-to-transformers decreases, and the infrastructure costs and operational cost per meter can increase by as much as 10 times to achieve the necessary coverage requirements in rural environment. Remote “Endpoint“ devices, such as utility smart meters or fault indicators, communicate directly with the “Access Points” deployed either on towers or utility poles allowing for flexible low cost deployments. An Endpoint a is device containing a small RF module designed for easy integration and ultra-low power operation in Smart Meters or sensors. A network of Access Points can provide redundant coverage for a wide area, such as a city or a county and has industry leading range enabling ubiquitous coverage. The Access Point is designed for indoor or outdoor operation and can be easily deployed on buildings, utility poles or communication towers enabling low cost pervasive coverage in the most challenging environments. SMOS (Smart Metering Operations Suite) provides visibility to data retrieved from network management services, a network of Access Points and devices. SMOS also provides the back-office integration functions that deliver data from across the network to core operational systems, such as Outage Management Systems and other applications. SMOS supports various industry standard interfaces and protocols.

The AP provides wireless coverage for thousands of sensor endpoints delivering unmatched network scalability over vast geographic areas. The AP communicates in a simple star topology with endpoints in the coverage area. Multiple APs can be configured to provide extensive coverage. APs communicate with back-office systems using secure IP networking. On the back-end, the APs connect to the Gateway. An effective way to develop a highly secure system is to start from the ground up with cyber security needs in mind. Security mechanisms cannot be implemented as “bolt on”. Security must be built into the design to be most effective. The Grid Modernization Infrastructure network leverages the broad capabilities of GE by looking across various industries such as Internet and Telecom, where security techniques are mature, to utilizing best practices for mutual authentication (valid endpoints will join valid networks), application message integrity and replay protection, data packet confidentiality, limited anonymity, and authentic firmware upgrade. Taking this into account a comprehensive approach to information security was designed into the system with: GE’s I-210 or SGM3000 Meter and Meter Communications Module • Prevention mechanisms to provide access control, integrity protection, confidentiality, and availability. The Electric MCM is integrated with both the I-210 ANSI and SGM3000 IEC Family of meters and provides: • Recovery mechanisms to ensure system continues to operate as desired and degrades gracefully. • Detection mechanisms to detect attempts to break into the system. • Up to fifteen minute intervals and daily register reads provided every fifteen minutes over the network, including precise event correlation across reads. Well recognized and time-tested security mechanisms are required to achieve these goals. The following security mechanisms are implemented and are best suited for a network that is a point-to-multipoint topology, bandwidth efficient and power maximizing: • Two-way meter communication to support on demand functionality, meter configuration, and remote meter disconnect. • Symmetric key algorithms • Last gasp meter reporting for power outage. • CMAC (AES 128-bit) for Over-the-Air (OTA) message integrity and node authentication • Over the air updates of endpoint firmware. • End-to-end security designed for Grid Modernization applications to ensure meter to network authentication, message integrity and confidentiality, and secure firmware binary updates. • AAA key management server with diameter protocol • 3-key TDES (192-bit) for link layer confidentiality and AES-128 bit encryption for application data confidentiality • No OTA key exchange • SSL encryption for back-end IP infrastructure GE’s MDS WiYZ™ Remote • Authentic firmware upgrade MDS WiYZ Remotes are packed with features and functionality to match up with a diverse range of remote monitoring and control requirements. Each Remote accommodates 2 Analog Inputs, 2 Analog Outputs, 2 Digital Inputs and 2 Digital Outputs. One RS232 port is used for configuration.Optional radio configuration to operate on the Grid IQ AMI P2MP network. Grid IQ AMI P2MP Solution System Security Attributes Mutual Entity Authentication • Configurable sample periods allow remotes to periodically sample sensor and I/O data, and transmit back to the gateway at specified intervals, conserving battery power and reducing network traffic. • Condition-based data transmission allows remote to transmit data only when there is a change of state for a Digital Input. • I/O extension can be implemented to regenerate sensor and I/O signals between devices.
