Thales IoT Module connect your smart meters
Because smart energy assets are often battery powered and deployed in remote areas for a decade or more, they require cellular IoT connectivity solutions designed for reliability, flexibility, security, and extreme power efficiency.
For more than 25 years, Thales has delivered pioneering cellular IoT solutions. Our comprehensive portfolio of Thales IoT modules specially designed for smart energy applications encompass 4G LTE and LPWAN technologies offering future-proofed connectivity solutions to meet the metering market’s stringent requirements.
Thales IoT module benefits for smart energy solutions:
- Regional and global solutions meet all cellular connectivity needs. Thales IoT modules come in both local or global variants delivering reliable connectivity anywhere.
- Embedded IoT eSIMs strengthen security and improve connectivity management and flexibility. Devices can be provisioned at the time of deployment and managed remotely for the life of the smart meter.
- Extreme power efficiency is ensured by an advanced power management system that reduces power consumption by up to 70 percent and extends device longevity for 10+ years.
- Built-in security provides strong digital identity and embedded credentials in the root of the smart meter, which ensures safe enrolment in any metering cloud or Head End System.
- Full Type Approval and global network operator pre-certifications ensure simplified deployment and accelerated time to market.
