With smart metering, it is primarily meant to read, to communicate and to monitor the consumption data, for example from electricity meters, gas meters, water meters, heat meters via PSTN, GSM, GPRS, PLC & LAN economically and environmentally "intelligent".
There is a trend of more and more leading energy companies showing that local display of the consumption data and a remote transmission are optimal and extremely fast solutions.
"Smart metering" is generally seen as an important innovation in the course of "intelligent" networks. German Metering GmbH has taken up this issue, whether electricity, gas, water or heat consumption data, and specializes in solutions, research and development in the hardware sector.
