The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way we interact with the world by embedding intelligence into everyday objects and enabling seamless communication between devices.Our Landis+Gyr webinar discussed key aspects of IoT, including its definition, communication methods, typical use cases, and Landis+Gyr's contributions to this transformative field.
In today's technologically advanced world, smart water metering is revolutionizing how consumers interact with and manage their water usage. This innovative approach goes beyond the simple recording of water consumption, it empowers individuals by providing them with detailed insights into their water use patterns, enabling them to identify inefficiencies, conserve resources, and potentially lower the bills.
Energy companies are under pressure from all sides when it comes to the cyber security of their critical infrastructure. The spiraling skills gap is set against an increasingly dynamic risk landscape and more far-reaching legislation. Nevertheless, companies must quickly find ways to set up their own operational technology (OT) security expertise.
In the age of data-driven decision making, industries are constantly looking for innovative ways to use information for efficiency and sustainability. The water distribution sector is no exception. Traditional water meters have long served their purpose in measuring consumption for billing purposes, but the advent of smart water meters has ushered in a new era of optimization and insight. These advanced meters are not only revolutionizing billing processes, but also providing a wealth of real-time data that can transform distribution networks and curb water loss.
The communication technology landscape for AMI and smart grids is rapidly evolving, with a rise in Radio Frequency (RF) mesh networks due to their reliability and long-range capabilities. This agility is crucial for finding and capitalizing on new opportunities while providing stable and sustainable energy supply. But what is the best technology for the increasingly demanding digitalization of energy grids?
The network topology of Jungfraubahnen is situated in a beautiful mountain landscape in the Bernese Oberland. This mountainous and partly sparsely populated region poses challenges in terms of the accessibility of smart meters, as the combination of cables and overhead lines together with remote measuring points makes classic powerline communication difficult or even impossible due to attenuation at cable/overhead line transitions.
As an integral part of the Energy Strategy 2050, Jungfraubahnen relies on intelligent electricity meters from Landis+Gyr, improving the accessibility of remote measuring points. The future-proof smart metering solution is optimised for the challenging Swiss topology and tailored to the high demands of the diverse customers in Landis+Gyr's home market.
