Arqiva, a communications infrastructure and services company, and smart grid company Sensus, have formed a partnership to deploy a communications platform as part of the UK's rollout of smart meters to all homes and businesses.
Under terms of the partnership, Sensus will supply Arqiva with its technology for smart metering, telemetry and control of utility assets. Arqiva will focus on the operation of long range radio-based solution for the single centralised national communications network as recommended by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Sensus will also provide its FlexNet smart grid communications system and SmartPoint technology.
Bill Yeates, executive vice president of Conservation Solutions at Sensus, said: "The marriage of Sensus' smart metering experience in the North American market and Arqiva's experience with critical network infrastructure in the UK represents an exciting proposition for the UK's smart metering initiative.
"Sensus is already playing a key role in the largest modernisation of utility networks in the US and Canada and we're excited by the prospect of helping the UK to achieve its energy modernisation ambitions."
Sensus is a technology and communications company providing data collection and metering solutions for water, gas and electric utilities.
