# PPC SMGW Binding
The PPC SMGW binding adds support for PPC Smart Meter Gateways. The gateway is commonly installed by the network operator to allow remote access to a smart meter. It also provides a HAN (home area network) interface for local access.
To use the HAN interface you need to connect it to your local network with an ethernet cable.
