What matters for smart metering

  • Signal in hard places

    Meters are often indoors or underground. A SIM that works on more than one network lets the meter pick the strongest one.

  • Years in service

    A meter is fitted once and left alone, so the SIM must keep working without visits.

  • Thousands at once

    Thousands of meters’ SIMs in one Control Centre, with alerts for any that stop sending readings.
