Smac announced that it has succeeded in the bid for the 'PLC modem supply for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) construction project' commissioned by Korea Electric Power Corporation. The contract size is approximately KRW 5.9 billion, an increase of KRW 4.7 billion from the previous year, and the supply period is until February 2019.

Through this contract, Smack will supply three types of PLC (power line communication) modems, which are core modules of the AMI business, and plans to supply products for the third region, which is classified into Gangwon, South Chungcheong, North Chungcheong, South Jeolla, and North Jeolla regions.

The AMI project is a representative Korean smart grid project that installs a modem in an existing digital power meter to enable two-way communication to check electricity usage. The plan is to build infrastructure for about 20 million households using electricity by 2020, and to carry out the project targeting about 4 million households this year.

Since 2016, the company has been supplying PLC modems and core components to KEPCO by transferring PLC modem-related technology from PLC chip manufacturer INC Technology (hereinafter INC). This year, it has also received an order to supply three types of PLC modems.

The company is also generating revenue by manufacturing and supplying a remote monitoring console modem (BCDMA) for the remote metering data DCU (centralized unit), which is one of the core equipment of the AMI business, to DCU manufacturers.

Choi Young-seop, CEO of Smac, said, “This project order is a reflection of the company’s excellent core technologies and optimized demand-oriented customized services,” adding, “Smac will do its best to supply good products for the national project to expand the smart power grid and provide new power services.”
