On 1 July 2022, SECAS officially received notification from the Proposer that they have decided to withdraw the Modification Proposal, in accordance with the Right to Withdraw provisions in SEC Section D5.1.
What is the issue?
As the Smart Metering rollout progresses, more and more Devices will be installed and will be operating simultaneously on the same 2.4GHz Channel. Other Devices may be co-located and compete for access for the available ZigBee radio Channels. The ZigBee 2.4GHz Channel used by the Comms Hub is selected at install and set for the life of the Smart Metering System unless the system is subject to external intervention. This would be via a site visit involving a Communications Hub exchange and a subsequent re-commissioning of the HAN.
What is the solution?
It is proposed that by providing a simple mechanism to allow the Communications Hub channel to be set at installation or changed after installation would provide an additional tool for Energy Suppliers to attempt to resolve the impacts of poor HAN performance.
