2nd generation Squid.link gateway: The shortcut to a smart energy solution
The IoT enables automation and makes processes more efficient in a wide variety of industries — smart home, home care, smart security, building management, among others – but it is especially useful in the electric power industry. Because electricity is needed for most parts of the modern society, applying IoT solutions to the energy management sector benefits citizens, the public sector, and private businesses alike. This is because energy management systems use the leveling of peak loads to manage energy consumption more efficiently, helping reduce energy bills and carbon footprints.
In addition to benefitting the electric power supply chain, incorporating the IoT into energy management systems enables smart grids to save more energy, and power industrial and residential buildings more efficiently. Due to this, to be able to better manage peak loads, it is important for an energy management solution to have a high-performance gateway such as a 2nd generation Squid.link gateway at its core.
Modular, multiprotocol platform
With a 2nd generation of Squid.link gateway as the heart of your energy management solution, you have a mature, modular, reliable, and secure platform.
The 2nd generation Squid.link gateways come in two variants, Squid.link 2B and Squid.link 2X. This way, you can choose a gateway according to the performance requirements of your solution, the complexity of the software (e.g. artificial intelligence), and the scale of your solution.
Collect more and better data
By incorporating a 2nd generation Squid.link gateway into your energy management solution, you can gather large amounts of high-quality data, so you can provide customers with a more comprehensive overview of their energy consumption.
The data can help uncover consumption patterns and optimize these. This way, energy management systems can employ knowledge of consumption patterns to plan better demand response (DR) strategies for residential and industrial sectors.
Get more insights on how DR can help reduce energy consumption
Avoid product development and focus on core competencies
With a 2nd generation Squid.link gateway, you get a mature, thoroughly tested, and certified gateway for your energy management solution.
This way, you are able to save the time and money that would otherwise be spent on product development. Instead, you can focus on the development of your software. Additionally, since it is a white label product, you can make the gateway match your business’s visual identity, so it fits your product portfolio right out of the box.

Integrate products seamlessly and match customer needs
With a 2nd generation Squid.link gateway, you get a flexible, open platform that enables you to integrate products across vendors and wireless standards thanks to its multiprotocol feature. This way, you can ensure your solution continuously matches your customers’ needs.
Additionally, the gateways’ multiple configuration possibilities allow you to customize it in a cost-effective manner that makes it easy to integrate into your solution.
Help your customers make better informed decisions
In combination with a Squid.link gateway, you can add wireless communication interfaces for meters to your solution. These can help users monitor and analyze household utility consumption by providing them with detailed knowledge of consumption patterns. This way, they can make better informed decisions about their energy consumption, so they can reduce it where they feel it appropriate.
