SMART METERING: SIMPLE TO DEPLOY, IMPACTFUL FOR SUCCESS

The myth of high costs and price increases for customers often prevents decision makers from taking the next step and implementing a smart metering concept. The result is sticking with manual meter reading, even if it has many disadvantages. Depending on the size of the network, it can take several weeks to collect the data from consumers.
