Smart Metering
Efficient data reading with superior security creates new business opportunities and reduces security costs
The Challenges
Managing the connectivity of smart meters is a challenging task, thanks to the number of devices typically involved. Activities such as changing configurations or replacing connectivity providers by swapping out SIM cards can be time-consuming and costly operations. Additionally, companies need the ability to enforce connectivity and security policies to maintain a high degree of security to protect their data.
In addition, always-on connectivity to smart grid technology such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is critical in any smart city project. AMI is a core component of the distribution segment of the grid, which is where most losses occur, and which is included in regulations such as 202020 in the EU. Secured billing, increased efficiencies and reduced carbon emissions requires effective two-way communication with the central system, sending and receiving information and measurements at preconfigured time intervals.
