What’s in it for the Distribution Businesses?
The flexibility of the Freestyle Operating System allows a Distribution Business to readily implement any change in operational requirements without effecting the current operational environment.

Using Freestyle, new applications and file structures can be implemented, in relatively real time, in the home appliance, the meter, the concentrator, or the IS solution interface.

Meter Emulation
Enables the DB’s to emulate high volumes of meter data for the testing and selection of concentrators and IS solutions.

Protocol supports communication with a single / group / all devices
Enable the DB’s to setup customer groups for demand management.

Protocol supports multiple communications interface
Freestyle enhances data transmission reliability by supporting multiple communication interfaces.

Roll data sets forward / backward
Allows the DB to utilise the network at low load times and builds in automatic redundancy.

Reporting - data sent to device
DB’s can collate and publish network information in relatively real-time. Retailers have the flexibility to offer off peak specials. Customers have the ability to configure and control electricity using devices to reduce peak demand consumption.

Single master database
Reduces the cost to maintain support systems.

Delay rollout
Allows the DB to utilise the network during low traffic periods.

Can interface with all IS solutions
Not locked in to one vendor or system
