The Enterprise Energy Management Solutions from Panoramic Power track an organization's energy consumption down to the circuit level. The approach uses wireless, self-powered sensors that can be simply connected to the circuits to detect energy usage. The sensors send data across the bridge, and the energy data is sent to PowerRadarTM, the solution's cloud-based analytics platform, every 10 seconds.

Gen3 (PAN-2-H-3G-US/EU V3) and Gen4 (PAN-2-H-3G-US/EU V4) bridges are available to connect your Panoramic Power devices to Centrica's cloud.

### PAN-10 & PAN-12
