• The device share within the smart meter space –  Electricity meters dominate with 80% of total product shipments forecasted worldwide excluding China. Still, water meters are growing at more than double the pace.
• The unique needs of smart meters – These considerations include regulatory compliance, cost, environmental resilience, ease of installation, bandwidth, security, coverage, interoperability, device lifetime and contract models.
• The challenges of design within this space – Smart meters have a long value chain that spans the device, connectivity considerations, platform and application. These are often managed by different parties and each must carry out their activities securely.
• How Thales addresses these requirements – Their approach includes building industrial grade, standardised and future-proof hardware for a secure connection, hosting a Connectivity Suite that ensures global, cost-effective and safe connections and overlaying IoT device and data protection with the Cyber Protection Suite from the cloud to the edge.
• A case study on Utilities Smart Water – With the need for 15+ year lifetime support, no external power source requirements, seamless network changes and global scope; Thales Adaptive Connect allows for IFPP on a single SKU and remote management of connection changes.
