As a basis for creating effective usage of energy and a sustainable energy distribution system, much focus is now placed on building “smart grids” – intelligent energy networks. One core component of the smart grids is to enable connectivity towards the meters in the grid, thereby enhancing the possibility to monitor and manage energy consumption in real-time.

The movement towards smart metering is partly driven by regulation and a recent EU initiative indicates that 80 percent of all electricity meters will be so called smart meters by 2020. Whilst the overall aim from an EU perspective is energy savings and movement towards a more environmental energy value chain, this new technology also provides a platform for fewer and less severe outages, reduction in energy network losses and a more efficient energy market.

The new generation of smart metering solutions not only makes remote meter reading possible but also provides a platform for various value adding services such as improved customer relations management and demand side management, important factors for an increasingly competitive energy market environment.

Smart metering systems usually include three main components: a connected meter, a communication network and data collection/management systems. Telenor Connexion is working closely towards both meter manufacturers as well towards providers of central data management systems to integrate GSM/GPRS connectivity solutions in the best possible way for large-scale deployments.

While most alarms traditionally have used fixed telephone lines as means of communication – there has been a strong movement towards wireless technologies for both home alarms and professional alarms. There are three main drivers for wireless technologies being integrated into today’s alarm systems:

• Improved reliability – fixed lines are often used for other purposes such as fax, answering machines, DSL modems etc. which can create disturbances. A wireless connection is solely used for the intended alarm purpose – thereby securing best possible alarm connectivity.
• Cost-effective installation – installation time and cost can be reduced by using standardised wireless equipment which also implies full flexibility of the alarm location.
• Product development opportunities – increasing demands of more advanced alarm functionality such as notification, picture, video support is well in line with high-capacity mobile networks for data and voice communication. Using global GSM/GPRS standards, alarm manufactures can develop and sell cost-effective solutions with standardised connectivity solutions for multiple markets.

Telenor Connexion has been working closely with some of the leading providers of security solutions on an international level for many years. We can apply our experience to your specific product and business needs to create a valuable platform for taking your security solutions to the next step.
