The rollout of smart metering for electricity, gas, and water is entirely dependent on reliable cellular data transmission. If a meter cannot send its readings back to the central system, the utility company is forced to rely on estimated billing, leading to customer complaints and revenue loss.
A standard, single-network SIM is a poor choice for this task. You need a dedicated, multi-network smart meter sim to guarantee connectivity regardless of where the meter is installed.
Overcoming Meter Installation Challenges
Smart meters are almost never installed in areas with optimal cellular reception. They are usually hidden away in basements, under stairs, inside thick concrete utility cupboards, or in rural areas.
- Deep Indoor Penetration: When signal is severely degraded by physical obstacles, being locked to a single network often results in zero connection. Our unsteered multi-network SIMs scan all available networks, meaning where ever there is a signal available the uint will be connected.
- Zero-Touch Deployment: Installers shouldn’t have to carry four different types of SIM cards and guess which one works best at a specific property. With an Anywhere SIM, the installer inserts one SIM, and the hardware automatically finds the available connection.
The Smart Choice for Utilities
Maximize your successful meter read rates and minimize costly engineer callouts for connectivity issues.
