Wirepas for smart metering

Reliable next-gen RF mesh for smart meters

To date, we have 15 licensees in smart metering. Our partners have deployed over 5 million smart electricity meters using Wirepas Mesh connectivity. Currently, 200,000 meters are deployed monthly. The biggest single network has over a million devices and a 99.9% Service Level Agreement. With a way lower total cost of ownership than any other option. Easy roll outs with minimal network planning and infrastructure, device software over the air and an autonomous, self-healing network mean your time and money are saved for something else.

What we do

We do and license wireless connectivity software. No, it's not NB-IoT or Wi-SUN. Nor it’s PLC. We know their flaws. Our connectivity does stuff others can only dream of. Like connect millions of smart meters in a single network ultra-reliably and affordably. We’ve created a mesh of a new breed, comes even in 5G. Really, it’s literally unbreakable. And it’s better because we’ve purpose-built it for the most demanding use: massive networks and tough environments. Out of reach for others. And already widely proven in the field. By millions.

How we do it

We’re licensing software directly to utilities. Why? Utilities have realized that they don't want to depend on single vertical solution suppliers. With Wirepas, they can secure interoperability, performance, and reliability. The utility can ask any meter vendor to use Wirepas mesh technology in their smart meters or use a solution provider to integrate each utility. They are getting meter reading data and using the meter as a sensing point of the grid. We help you win tenders and let you develop your solution locally.

Ultra-reliability

A smart electricity network should never fail. That’s what we offer, in any conditions. Wirepas Mesh uses mesh topology. It means any meter can share data with others. If one way of connecting fails, the network finds another route. A network with Wirepas Mesh is self-healing, making it one of the most reliable in the market. Our record is 99.999% SLA.

High performance

We don’t compromise on the performance of our connectivity. We offer higher data throughput. To go beyond reading the meters, you need it. Smart grids will need to pass more data around. On top of that, Wirepas Sub-GHz offers a longer range and 5G Mesh even more. This helps in installations in more sparse areas and difficult-to-reach places, such as your underground meter rooms.

Affordable to all

In the world of subscriptions, Wirepas Mesh doesn’t need any. It works on its own, creating its own infrastructure. No base stations needed. No expensive network planning. And no extra costs caused by cellular black spots. Just a connectivity with the lowest total cost of ownership in the market.

Already 10 years of successful growth

Wirepas Connectivity Suite

Wirepas Connectivity Suite offers two radio profiles for smart metering: Sub-GHz for your local frequency and 5G Mesh that works on a dedicated spectrum of 1.9 GHz. The best part here is the profiles have the same SDK; only the hardware is different. From the SKU point of view, the 5G Mesh uses cellular hardware.

Sub-GHz

More than five million smart meters using Wirepas Mesh Sub-GHz already installed in Europe and India
Biggest network of more than a million meters in a single network
99.9% SLA with more than 60 utilities worldwide

5G Mesh

The first product based on the first non-cellular 5G standard NR+, designed for massive IoT
Fully future-proof, responds to the increasing market requirements
More range, higher reliability, higher density and higher throughput
A single global spectrum enables global SKU
Next-generation RF Mesh – Available now

The new IoT standard NR+

How could we create a unified way of connecting meters around the world? A standard. The first non-cellular 5G standard with a dedicated radio spectrum. That's NR+. Much of it is based on our technology. And our 5G Mesh is the first implementation of it.
