Today’s smart metering solutions have evolved with a wide range of connectivity options and choosing the right solution can unlock new levels of performance, scalability and cost-efficiency.

Smart metering has been a driving force in the IoT revolution for over 25 years. Utilities have long faced the challenge of collecting data from connected meters in remote, often hard-to-reach locations – underground, in pits or even submerged in water.

Despite these challenges, today’s smart metering solutions have evolved far beyond simple data collection. They now enable precise billing, advanced leak detection, thermal network optimisation, energy savings and the reduction of water waste.

But smart metering is just the beginning. As municipalities and utilities look to expand their IoT networks, they are faced with a complex decision-making process. Which connectivity technology should they choose? Which use cases should they focus on, and what devices will deliver the greatest impact? And perhaps most importantly, how can they ensure that their IoT investments generate a real, measurable return?

Discover how smart metering positively impacts your city

Whether you are planning to enhance operational efficiency, optimise resource management or provide new services to your community, the key to success lies in the careful selection of technology and use cases.

With a wide range of connectivity options available – LoRaWAN®, mioty®, OMS, NB-IoT and more – the choices can seem overwhelming. But the right solution can unlock new levels of performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.

That’s where we come in. To help you make the right decisions, we’ve created a comprehensive white paper titled “Smart Metering: Using IoT Networks to Build Smart Cities“. This document is designed specifically for decision-makers like you, providing clear guidance on:

  • Which connectivity technologies to choose from a large variety of LPWAN standards
  • How to select the right sensors and devices for various use cases, from smart metering to environmental monitoring, asset tracking, and more
  • How to ensure a long-lasting infrastructure, scalable and flexible.

Our white paper not only outlines the key technology decisions you’ll need to make but also highlights our multi-connectivity offerings, ensuring that you have access to a wide array of flexible, scalable and future-proof solutions. Whether your focus is on energy, water, waste management or urban mobility, we provide a tailored approach to meet the unique challenges faced by municipalities and utilities.
