About The Customer
Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) of the UK Government.
The Challenge
The UK Government is requiring energy companies to install 53 million gas and electricity meters at 30 million domestic and smaller non-domestic properties by 2020. Under the UK Government's Smart Metering Implementation Programme (SMIP), there was a need for a Communications Service Provider (CSP) to provide connectivity services and communication hubs to energy suppliers. Telefonica was chosn to be this CSP.
The Solution
Communications Services Provider (CSP): The UK Government chose us as CSP for two of the three UK regions (South and Central).

M2M Connectivity: We will use their existing cellular network to provide the communication link between the smart meters and the data centre.

Communication Hubs (CH): We will provide CH to connect to the smart meters.

Communication Hubs Management: We will support efficiently CH roll out, maintenance and troubleshooting using our device management services.
Operational Impact
  • [Efficiency Improvement - Compliance]
    These solutions help the UK comply with EU sustainability policies. EU regulation obliges member countries to comply with “triple 20” targets by 2020 (i.e. 20% energy consumption reduction).
  • [Cost Reduction - Energy]
    Reduce energy consumption and cost savings for energy suppliers.
