WHAT IS SMART METERING?
Smart Metering effectively monitors the consumption of energy. This Intelligent Metering Solution provides data collection between the meter and the billing management system. Smart Meters make use of industry standard protocols, allowing for secure and reliable communication to effectively monitor utility usage, allowing the consumers and utilities to optimise their energy usage and spend, into the future.

Features of Smart Metering:
Energy efficiency
Consumers benefit from precise usage information that enables greater control over future energy distribution and use. From home energy management applications to automated demand response, netVendor Smart helps make energy efficiency a reality from distribution to end use.
Operational efficiency
From systems integration to field operations, netVendor Smart provides process automation and information needed to improve resource management across the utility organisation. And because infrastructure, IT and communication services can be managed in a single end-to-end platform, implementation and operation of the technology are also efficient.
