The STE18-GS consists of a prepaid keypad meter and a separate Customer Interface Unit (CIU), with the CIU equipped with an RF module that offers a coverage range of 300 to 400 meters.

Designed for advanced power management with seamless remote monitoring capabilities, it integrates dual-mode GPRS/433MHz RF communication to enable real-time electricity data access via web portals, vending systems, handheld units (HHUs), or API-integrated third-party platforms.

This multi-channel connectivity supports detailed consumption analytics, usage trend tracking, and instant anomaly alerts, facilitating proactive energy optimization.

Its modular plug-and-play design accommodates diverse smart metering requirements while maintaining STS compliance for data collection and network communications. Utilities can deploy cost-effective solutions across PLC, RF, GPRS, or 4G LTE networks based on existing infrastructure.

Additionally, its component-replaceable architecture minimizes lifecycle costs by enabling module-only upgrades without compromising system performance.
