SMART UTILITIES AND ENERGY
Smart Electricity Meter
How the IoT can expand our awareness towards the energy consumption rates through a simple device known as, Electricity Smart Meter, and how it impacts the climate change
DESCRIPTION
The role of Low Power Wide Area Networks in communication between Smart Meter and Utility company is significant. It enables Smart electricity meters to give us a more accurate understanding of our energy consumption, as well as how to conserve it. By recognizing when we are using more power than necessary, we can help reduce the amount of pollution sent into the atmosphere. This is possible through installing smart electricity meters which monitor our usage in real time, along with tracking other information such as weather patterns and industrial activity. So, by installing a Smart Electricity Meter you can realize better electric service on our planet.
LPWAN SIMPLE ARCHITECTURE
WHY IOT OVER LPWAN?
The benefits of LPWAN extend to greater productivity and more effective use of resources when linking devices simultaneously. Additionally, costs associated with connecting units over a broad area network are minimized- meaning setup times is shorter and monthly expenses are lowered overall.
LPWAN uses the ISM frequency spectrum to provide a low-power wide area network. The use of this frequency band allows LPWAN systems to be smaller, faster and more reliable than traditional narrowband networks.
LPWAN technology offers a number of benefits, such as low power consumption and long battery life. It also makes it easy to record data for inspection purposes and allows users to access information quickly in the event of any issues with the system. Furthermore, LPWAN notifications will let you know if specific parameters are being exceeded.
