Modules, Connectivity
The Internet of Things (IoT) enables smart utilities to utilize assets that enhance sustainability and efficiency. IoT solutions enable real-time monitoring to:
- Prevent losses
- Cut operating costs
- Support smarter infrastructure management
Smart grid and smart meter technology are vital for modern utilities. They work with electrical, gas and water distribution infrastructure to transmit real-time data across secure networks. This visibility enables utility providers to respond quickly and enhance service reliability.
Smart meters are compact devices that operate on low power and rely on stable connectivity. They connect to the electrical infrastructure and allow utility companies to monitor and relay consumption data across their networks.
