Thales and Landis+Gyr have partnered to provide secure, scalable cellular connectivity for smart meter deployments in North America.
Key points
•Thales provides eSIM technology for secure remote management
•Landis+Gyr supports digital transformation of utilities with smart metering solutions
•Solution enhances connectivity and reduces field interventions
The collaboration between Thales, a global leader in cybersecurity and IoT connectivity management, and Landis+Gyr, an energy technology leader in grid edge intelligence and energy management, aims to simplify the remote management of smart meter fleets. The solution includes Thales' eSIM technology and advanced IoT connectivity management tools.
According to Berg Insight, the installed base of smart electricity meters in North America is expected to grow from 152.4 million in 2024 to 180.9 million by 2030. This growth underscores the need for robust cellular connectivity solutions like those provided by Thales and Landis+Gyr.
The combined solution offers utilities a unified view of their connectivity operations, enabling centralized monitoring and control over large-scale deployments. This reduces field interventions and improves operational efficiency, making it easier to manage both SIM- and eSIM-enabled devices.
