Singtel and EDMI develop IoT-driven smart meters

Electricity suppliers will be able to monitor electricity consumption more accurately.

Singtel and smart metering solutions provider EDMI Limited are collaborating to develop a smart electric metering infrastructure for Singapore.

According to a press release, The partners have successfully tested smart electric meters, powered by seamless connectivity on Singtel’s nationwide Cat-M1 cellular Internet of Things (IoT) network.

Combining smart meters with the IoT network enables secure wireless transmission of real-time meter readings at regular intervals to the power grid.

Singtel said this will allow electricity suppliers to monitor electricity consumption and project demand.

Singtel’s Cat-M1 IoT network went live in September 2017. It has been conducting trials with over 20 potential partners at an IoT innovation lab that was set up with Ericsson earlier in the year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
