Comverge's Maingate® eSS is a robust data aggregation component which can collect data from up to 10,000 unique points per device, whether loads within an industrial facility, generators, grid automation components, or substation controls. The eSS offers two way communications via paging, cellular, fixed, or broadband networks.

The eSS is capable of interfacing with virtually any device over proprietary or non-proprietary protocols. The aggregated data can then easily be interfaced with Comverge's PowerCAMP™ real-time software solution or imported into existing SCADA, operations, billing, or CRM/CIS tools.
