Arqiva Smart Metering We’re connecting smart meters wherever they are located, using our proven smart metering communications solution. This will help all people to enjoy the energy, water and cost savings that smart meters are expected to bring. Arqiva, as Service Provider to the Data and Communications Company (DCC), is delivering the communications service needed to connect smart electricity and gas meters in around 10 million homes and businesses in the North of England in Scotland. Through our trials in Great Britain, we’ve already demonstrated that our solution connects to over 99% of energy and water smart meters wherever they are using a single long-range radio technology. This spans urban and rural locations, all property types and all meter locations. Our technology is also proven at scale, based on over 17 million meters and devices connected internationally. What’s more, our network is designed to be “always available”, so that utilities can provide time-critical smart services – from crediting prepayment meters to “demand side management” – whenever and wherever, their customers need them. Our solution is inherently secure and resilient. As such, it’s also ideally suited to meet the challenging requirements of smart electricity grids and smart water networks.

Arqiva Connecting buildings to improve services and reduce costs. Lots of things, like smoke alarms, stop working. Connecting them saves money and protects property and people. These connected applications help to reduce costs and improve services in buildings - from monitoring consumables like liquid soap in dispensers to getting early warning that a boiler needs a service. Arqiva is in a unique position to unlock the promise of the internet of things by making it possible to communicate with millions of devices. Our new internet of things network will significantly reduce total costs, making many more applications financially attractive. We also have broad capabilities across communications infrastructure and services to meet the diverse requirements of our customers. Our internet of things network makes it easy to connect devices “out of the box” as soon as they are installed in buildings, without the need for any local communications equipment. Organisations and households can start to realise the benefits quickly and easily. We’re using SIGFOX technology which has low modem costs and longer battery life, reducing the time and money spent maintaining and replacing connected devices once they have been installed. Our network will communicate directly to each device, including deep inside buildings. This is just one part of our wider set of internet of things services to connect devices inside buildings, including smart metering communications for 10 million homes and our in-building solutions for locations with a high level of mobile phone usage.
