Connecting the Grid of Tomorrow, Today.
Utilities around the world are under pressure to modernize their infrastructure, improve grid resilience, and deliver smarter, more sustainable services to customers. At MMB Networks, we help utilities accelerate this transformation with proven connectivity solutions that power the next generation of smart energy devices – from advanced metering infrastructure to smart street lighting and beyond.
Our suite of interoperable hardware and software products is designed to help utilities build and manage reliable, secure, and scalable IoT networks.
Connected Nodes Deployed
MMB Solutions for Utilities
MMB Networks delivers a complete Wi-SUN solution built for utilities, with each component designed to work seamlessly together. Network Interface Cards (NICs) embed Wi-SUN directly into your meters, sensors, and field devices, giving every endpoint secure and reliable connectivity.
The Border Router forms the backbone of the network, linking thousands of nodes together and providing a robust, utility-grade gateway to your back office systems. For areas that are hard to reach or for legacy assets that need a smart upgrade, the Collector and Mesh Extender add Wi-SUN externally, extending coverage and strengthening resilience across the grid.
Tying it all together, the Network Management System (NMS) gives you full visibility and control—allowing you to monitor devices, manage assets, and optimize performance from a single pane of glass. Together, these components create a flexible, scalable, and interoperable Wi-SUN network that utilities can trust for critical infrastructure.

Embed Wi-SUN directly into your devices.
Network Interface Cards (NICs) and Modules
Our Wi-SUN and other standards-based NICs provide utilities with the flexible, future-proof connectivity needed for smart devices across the grid.
-
Use Case: Embedded in smart meters, grid sensors, or smart lighting controllers, NICs enable devices to join large-scale mesh networks and communicate reliably in challenging utility environments.
-
Why Utilities Choose Them: Proven interoperability, robust security, and low-power operation make NICs ideal for long-life utility deployments.
Upgrade legacy devices with Wi-SUN and boost connectivity and reliability.
Collector and Mesh Extenders
Our Collector and Mesh Extenders provide a scalable solution for aggregating traffic from dense device populations in urban or suburban environments.
-
Use Case: The product can be used as a Collector to add Wi-SUN to any legacy asset / product (re-closers, street-lights, legacy meters). As a Mesh Extender, it can be used in a smart meter deployment in dense or challenging RF environments to aggregate data from thousands of meters across neighborhoods.
-
Why Utilities Choose Them: Designed to easily add Wi-SUN to any existing asset and to handle high node density and dynamic network topologies, ensuring resilient coverage and reliable performance in large-scale AMI rollouts.
Connect and manage all your field nodes.
Border Routers
MMB Border Routers act as the critical gateway between field devices and back-office systems, ensuring secure and scalable data transmission.
-
Use Case: Deployed at the edge of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network, Border Routers collect data from thousands of smart meters and route it back to utility head-end systems.
-
Why Utilities Choose Them: High throughput, standards compliance, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
Monitor, manage, and optimize your network.
Network Management System (NMS)
MMB’s Network Management System gives utilities the visibility and control they need to operate large-scale IoT networks with confidence.
-
Use Case: From monitoring metering networks to managing city-wide lighting infrastructure, our NMS helps utilities troubleshoot, optimize, and scale their connected assets.
-
Why Utilities Choose It: Real-time insights, simplified device onboarding, performance monitoring, and advanced analytics ensure efficient network operations and reduced OPEX.
