Abstract

A transformer monitor, communication and data collection device features a signal processor configured to receive signaling containing information about collected data, including some combination of electrical signaling data related to electrical signaling being processed by a transformer located and arranged in a grid network and to which the apparatus is mounted, metered data related to associated electrical signaling being provided from the transformer to a building or structure in the grid network, and other wireless network data related to other wireless network communication devices/nodes/end points deployed in the grid network; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about collected data for transmitting back to a central location or other connection device for further processing, based upon the signaling received.
