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.
Reliable Connectivity for IoT-Enabled Smart Meters
Everything is mission-critical when protecting smart grids and smart meters. Ensuring reliable and secure connectivity for critical infrastructure is essential to maintain system functionality and safety.
Supporting IoT technologies, such as cellular, short-range and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), enhances resiliency and eases deployment. IoT-enabled solutions from a trusted provider can safeguard critical infrastructure against hackers and other cyberthreats.
Selecting the Right IoT Enablement Solution and Provider for Smart Meters
Smart meters are compact devices that require low power consumption — especially when battery-powered — and reliable connectivity. Telit Cinterion’s cellular LPWA modules are ideal for smart meters.
The ME310M1 Cat M1/NB2 offers best-in-class power consumption in a compact form factor. This saves battery life and makes it suitable for size-constrained devices. In addition to cellular connectivity, it embeds short-range radio capability to connect to RF mesh networks.
Support for NTNs adds resilience in remote or underserved areas. Built-in eSIM and iSIM options simplify deployments and enhance life cycle management.
Embedded processing capability enhances device intelligence at the edge.
