Enexis to deploy Sagemcom smart electricity
meters enabled by LTE Cat-1 and LPWA modules from Sierra
Wireless
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW) today announced that
Sagemcom, a leading European communications equipment provider, has
selected modules from Sierra Wireless for its smart meters to be
deployed by Enexis in the Netherlands. Sagemcom’s X210 smart meter
portfolio will be enabled by Sierra Wireless’ new HL7690 LTE Cat-1
embedded modules, which are part of the company’s AirPrime® HL
Series product portfolio.
“We have long-term experience with Sierra Wireless and have been
integrating their modules into many of our smart meter deployments
in Europe because they deliver leading-edge cellular technology,”
said Jean-Philippe Sacriste, Energy Department Director at Sagemcom
Energy & Telecom. “We’re pleased to work with Sierra Wireless
to integrate their LPWA technology into our future products in
order to deploy our LTE Cat-1 smart meter solution on time with
Enexis.”
Enexis is the energy network company responsible for managing
electricity and gas distribution in the north, east and south
regions of the Netherlands with approximately 2.7 million
connections to Dutch households. Enexis will be deploying two
million smart electricity meters using 4G LTE, and Sagemcom will be
supplying 50 percent of that deployment. During 2018, Enexis is
planning on electricity meter deployments using LPWA (Low Power
Wide Area) networks based on the latest LTE-M standard.
“For our national electrical smart metering project, we are
pleased to be combining Sierra Wireless’ expertise in proven
wireless solutions for the energy industry with Sagemcom’s
experience in electrical smart metering,” said Jan Willem Janse,
Director Smart Meters at Enexis. “Sierra Wireless can provide
innovative solutions to meet our requirements for a standardized
cellular solution including its strong ecosystem knowledge and
future-proof transition plan to LPWA networks.”
AirPrime HL Series modules from Sierra Wireless are the smallest
embedded wireless modules (22 x 23 mm) to be completely
interchangeable across 2G, 3G, 4G LTE and future LPWA technologies.
The HL Series uses the new CF3™ form factor from Sierra Wireless,
which is footprint compatible across product lines and network
technologies and will remain fully interchangeable with future
versions of the modules, including those for LPWA networks when
they become available. LTE-M technology is expected to provide a
highly efficient cellular LPWA technology option for smart metering
and smart grid applications, with lower radio-frequency complexity,
significantly reduced power consumption, and better in-building
signal penetration.
“Our LTE Cat-1 and LPWA solutions are designed to meet the needs
of our leading energy customers,” said Dan Schieler, Senior Vice
President, OEM Solutions for Sierra Wireless. “And using our
AirVantage® FOTA cloud-based platform, customers can easily upgrade
device firmware over-the-air for millions of deployed devices at a
time, ensuring they stay in service for many years while
efficiently managing operating costs.”
