John Cronin, Executive Chairman of CyanConnode, commented:
“I am delighted to announce these significant follow-on orders from Montecarlo for prestigious smart metering projects in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh and Nagpur, Maharashtra. Our earlier deployments in Madhya Pradesh, particularly in Indore, set industry benchmarks and became case studies for Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) across India, achieving returns on investment within two and a half years.
Securing repeat orders underscores the proven effectiveness of our cutting-edge, standards-based technology and highlights our deep expertise within India’s rapidly growing smart metering ecosystem. With these projects now secured in Madhya Pradesh and in Maharashtra, our Omnimesh RF mesh network technology continues to strengthen the backbone of India’s smart metering infrastructure.
We work well with Montecarlo and we are confident this collaboration will continue to flourish, further enhancing CyanConnode’s leading position in the industry.”
