Packet Power's Wireless Network Connector (WNC) provides an easy way to make select non-Packet Power metered devices that aren't connected to a network work over Packet Power's wireless network. The WNC now supports several Schneider power meters and RLE leak detection controllers in addition to APC, Geist and Servertech devices.
No more stranded metered devices
Simply plug the WNC into the Ethernet or serial port of a supported device and data will automatically flow across the wireless network.
