New connections for Packet Power's Wireless Network Connector

No more stranded power! Packet Power's Wireless Network Connector (WNC) easily makes select metered devices work over our wireless network. The list of supported devices continues to grow based on customer demand.

Simply plug the WNC into the Ethernet or serial port of a supported device and data will automatically begin to flow across the wireless network.

WNC features

  • Local LCD immediately verifies correct operation
  • Supports up to two optional temperature probes
  • Can be mounted with a low profile bracket, via a DIN rail clip, or by optional magnet

Easy access to data
Customers with existing monitoring applications can access data sent by the WNC via a Packet Power Ethernet Gateway using standard protocols such as SNMP, Modbus and Ethernet/IP. Packet Power's EMX Energy Portal provides an easy-to-use option for customers that have yet to deploy a monitoring application.
