Since producing its first smart meters about 20-years ago, the experience and many lessons learned have put NES in a position to now offer the 5th generation of smart meters. At this point, the smart metering evolution is well established, with hundreds of millions of smart meters being installed across Europe and the world.

In 2001, NES participated in the first large-scale smart metering project with Enel in Italy, where more than 30 million smart meters were deployed. We also provide a simple Grafana framework for the visualization of water metering data.Networked Energy Services (NES), originally part of Echelon, started its smart metering journey over 20-years ago. Using a Windows-based remote device management platform, you have continuous access to your devices. Our Device Manager softwareВ adds true value to any smart water metering solution. It supports the modern IoT transportation protocols such as the MQTT and LwM2M. The device is powered by a long-life battery solution. Our data logger receives pulse signals, Mbus data simultaneously and periodically sends them to the data center on the NB-IoT / Cat.M network. It is an ideal network communications technology for the smart water solution. NB-IoT offers deep coverage and massive connections with low power consumption. These traditional technologies operate on unlicensed spectrum, which may cause channel interference among different applications, such as water, electricity metering or public street lighting. We solve the limitations of network construction in legacy two-hop networks LoRa or RF. Digitalisation and intelligent use of data make it possible to improve operational efficiency as never before. The right information at the right time enables the right decisions. One of the main challenges water companies face today is what the industry calls Non-Revenue Water, the quantity of water lost due leakage and theft.

Remote configuration and firmware upgrade (singular or mass update).Public and dynamic IP SIM support using M2M Appliance Server.Operated from a private network with NAT, or a modem connected to the HES (Head End System).Scheduled data sending or triggered by an alarm or SMS.CDMA 450 / 2G / 3G / LTE 4G / LTE 450 / Narrow-Band module options.Remote meter readout (вЂћPushвЂќ or вЂћPullвЂќ method).Super-capacitor option can be ordered вЂ“ protection against possible electricity network outages and LastGasp functionality.Optional surge protection from 4kV up to 12kV.Power supply from the metrology (AC or DC power).Separated and sealed isolation from meter.Design and connectivity satisfy meter manufacturer standards.The modem can fit into the meter enclosure where it can be securely fastened.This is a cost-effective solution when implementing an automated energy metering system. The meters are connected via RS485 and the modem sends the data from a single вЂњmasterвЂќ meter. Some of our modems support the multi-meter connection, allowing to connect multiple meters to one modem. Features include transparent push data sending, pull on-demand requests, scheduled readouts, and meter data downloads, and more. The modems connect to the meters, read the consumption data (through RS232/RS485), and send them to the data center via cellular networks, while providing remote access and monitoring features for the head-end systems. These modems are at the heart of AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) of public utility companies. Our modems were specifically designed for the electricity meters of large manufacturers ( Elster В®, Honeywell В®, ItrГіn В®, Landis+Gyr В®В and EMH В®). You can also build infrastructure вЂ“ by combining with our data concentrators, routers вЂ“ to collect and send data to the central head-end-system (HES) or a database. Modems and routers allow for Automated Meter Reading (AMR) of electricity and water meters!

We offer cellular IoT communication devices for smart metering solutions. Today, cellular IoT technologies such as NB-IoT and Cat-M1В allow massive smart metering systems to operate reliably and cost efficiently. Smart metering begins with communication devices that collect and send data to a central management planform. Smart metering is crucial not only for billing purposes, but most importantly to gain actionable insight about the demand on the grid in order to be able to balance it better with supply.
