Gridstream® Connect: A Utility IoT Platform for the Energy Industry Revolution

New cellular communication technologies promise lower cost over the entire life cycle, standardization and simplification of device integration. We take a closer look at LTE CAT NB1 and M1, how they work and which benefits they can bring.

Our customer Enedis is a public service company that manages the public electricity distribution network for 95% of continental France. Their goal: to modernize the network for the Energy Transition. The cooperation is in full swing.

We have over a decade of experience with managed meter reading service customers in Europe with different tailor-made SLA terms. Here we are sharing some of our learnings.

According to Austrian regulations, 95% of households need to be equipped with a smart meter by 2022. As one of the country’s first distribution system operators, Netz Burgenland committed themselves to a full-scale G3 PLC smart metering solution rollout.

The go-ahead for the smart meter rollout in Germany is finally there and we have developed a specific "As-a-Service" Model for the country’s small and mid-size utilities.

With the E360 we have built an intelligent endpoint with enhanced communication and measurement capabilities. And as part of our end-to-end solution Gridstream® Connect, it accompanies our customers on their way towards more data-driven use cases.

The energy system is experiencing systemic change. New solutions that help meeting these challenges are available and the key to unlock them lies in the intelligence at the edge of smart metering infrastructures.

The energy industry is in a phase of unprecedented disruption with decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation, the 3Ds, as key drivers. We’re excited to participate in this transformation and to introduce new technologies to manage energy better.

Landis+Gyr has undertaken research to understand the value of Managed Services for their utility customers. The detailed results of interviews done with customers in North America and the Nordics are available in a series of White Papers.
