Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

A protocol used across physical networks (for example, cellular networks, fiber-optic networks, phone-line networks, and broadband Internet networks) that use different network layer protocols to establish direct connection and enable network operation on the same communication link. PPP can also provide connection authentication and message transmission encryption and compression.

OpenWay uses PPP in the interface between the Connected Grid Mesh Communications Module (CG-Mesh) and the Application Module in the OpenWay CENTRON Meter.
