Simple & flawless AS4 v4.0 / EDIG@S data exchange to meet gas network code on interoperability and data exchange rules (NC INT)
The European Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/703 establishing a network code on interoperability and data exchange rules (NC INT) introduced a data exchange protocol (AS4) and format (Edig@s) for all natural gas transmission network users; let it be traders, shippers, system operators, distributors, or storage operators. The regulation requires these market participants to use the aforementioned protocol and format for data exchange and communication.
Now, AS4 v4.0 introduces a major security leap: elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), where 256-bit keys are as strong as 3072-bit RSA keys! That means faster, more secure, and more efficient encryption. The EC published the new eDelivery AS4 Profile 2.0 in Dec 2024, followed by ENTSOG’s AS4 v4.0 in Sept 2025, and we’re fully up to speed. Our AS4 Communicator has been relaunched!
We believe that this new regulation should not result in frustrating, time-consuming system development and upgrades for network users, which is why we created our ENTSOG-compliant data exchange tool, AS4 Communicator. It is a universal application that can be easily integrated into the software network of any business.
Our solution passed conformance testing under the e-SENS AS4 profile and is listed in the European Commission’s Market Guide for AS4 Solutions and Services.
Core features at a glance
Vendor-independent communication
AS4 Communicator is able to communicate with any vendor’s or your in-house-developed IT application, so you do not need to enter the data several times into separate systems. Furthermore, we made this module easy to use, and the processes are comprehensible.
Reliable AS4 / edig@s conversion
The deployment and introduction of the system require a very short period of time. It is a very flexible software layer that sits on top of your existing system. It uses your existing data and converts it to the required protocol and form. The user interface is self-explanatory; therefore, a brief training session is enough to become familiar with the straightforward process of data exchange and communication.
Extendible architecture
AS4 Communicator has been designed for the future. Data exchange protocols and message formats can be extended, new modules can be introduced or switched on depending on user needs.
