SGH-S
Highly secure communication gateway for modern measuring systems, network management with all-IP connectivity via Ethernet, cellular and broadband PLC
The SGH-S highly secure communications gateway with Common Criteria certification is the key component of the IP-based product range. In combination with the base meter, the device forms the "modern measuring system". The whole device is inherently safe. The safety requirements according to EAL4 + level are laid down by law in the specific "protection profile". These apply consistently to the development, production, installation processes and all operational processes along the entire life cycle.

s a communication gateway, the SGH-S performs legal tasks such as tariffing, processing and provision of billing data in strict compliance with data protection regulations. As a multi-functional device, the SGH-S connects the equipment of consumers and producers in end points of the supply network with the applications and services of the market participants. Thus, the SGH-S plays an important role for the comprehensive networking of the network end points in the decentralized energy supply.
The following features are characteristic of this high-security product:
Highly secure communication gateway for modern measuring systems, network management
In combination with the SGM-D system-capable base meter, the SGH-S secure communication gateway forms the "modern measuring system". Customers with load management, heating control and EEG supply will in future use a control device as another component, which must be connected to the control center via the gateway provided by the CLS interface.
The SGH-S gateway and the corresponding GCU-S control unit can be integrated in the base meter as components of the secure IP product line. Together they form the basis for customer management, efficient energy use and automation in modern distribution grids (Smart Grid).
Further areas of application include building automation and resource management in commercial and industrial companies, where SGH-S can be used as a secure communication node or universal router due to the VPN capability of the CLS interface.
The functionality of the device can be made flexible by a highly secure firmware upgrade and by separating the firmware into a fixed and a changeable within the operating time range. The following functions are available by default:
The flexible upgrade capability allows the device to be equipped with specific functions, making it versatile in various market segments as a highly secure communication hub, e.g. as a VPN modem in the network management. The following functions are representative for use in the network management:
