Digital Angel, operating through the multi-branched dealer networks for more than six years, offers the M2MGate Solution a universal telemetry platform for machine-to-machine communications. Powered by Cinterion's intelligent GSM-modems, the M2MGate Solution platform uses on-board Java support, which ensures highly economical and a quick realization of telemetry tasks such as remote data collection and management of the customer’s distributed equipment network through the GSM network.

The M2MGate EnergyMeter, the communicative M2M component consisting of complex hardware and software equipment controlled and audited by a central system of electrical power, has replaced the outdated technologies of data transfer by wire lines with a modern, safe and inexpensive technology, remote controlled by the GPRS channel.

Based on Cinterion’s TC65i GSM-module along with Java support, it operates together with GPRS-modems, and ensures information exchange between the energy recording devices through the RS-485 interface. The data is then transferred by a safe protocol inside GPRS-channel with automatic communication reservation by CSD.

Up to 60,000 simultaneously connected devices can now be supported by the M2MGate EnergyMeter server application. This considerably reduces the interrogation time of all the devices.
