TIDE


Tide Co., Ltd. has had product development experience and various application technology based on core power line communications development
expertise accumulated for more than 10 years. The company provides a solution optimized for customers' needs.

Tide is the only company in Korea to introduce Qualcomm's HPGP chipset solution, one of the high-speed PLCs,
into the power advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system. In 2017, the company was recognized by KEPCO's HPGP low-voltage AMI test for its communications stability
and has since built out up to 1 million reference sites across the country.

Tide, which relentlessly works to provide best solutions and services to its customers, promises you to provide reliable, high-quality metering services.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure

  • What is AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure)?
  • AMI refers to the advanced metering infrastructure, which is a major element in the smart grid area. In this page, it refers to all the services provided to the customer such as the customer's power consumption data (including monthly/cumulative power usage, hourly rate information) remotely metered using a two-way communication network. This enables the efficient use of electrical power to both power suppliers and customers by monitoring power consumption by means of providing information to both parties.
  • Wide PLC band

    (Fast data transmission, 10Mbps)

  • International standard

    (IEEE P1901)

  • Excellent communication PLC technology

  • AES-128 encryption support

  • Multi-hop support

    (16 Step repeating)

  • ROBO mode support

    (Mini ROBO 3.8Mbps, Standard ROBO4.9Mbps, high Speed ROBO 9.8Mbps)
