CyanConnode is building its role in India’s smart metering rollout as utilities invest in better network visibility, more accurate billing and lower electricity losses.
Smart meters give utilities near-real-time data on electricity use. This improves billing accuracy, reduces reliance on manual readings and helps identify theft, tampering and unusual consumption. It also gives distribution companies a clearer view of demand across their networks.
Many Indian utilities continue to face high Aggregate Technical and Commercial losses. These losses include electricity lost through network inefficiencies, theft, billing errors and weak collection. Smart metering can help reduce these problems by improving data quality and allowing utilities to act more quickly.
CyanConnode supplies the communications technology that connects smart meters with utility systems. Its platform supports the transfer of meter data across large and complex networks, including areas where a single communications method may not be suitable.
The company’s use of radio frequency mesh, cellular and hybrid communications gives it flexibility across different locations and network conditions. This is important in India, where population density, geography and infrastructure quality vary widely.
A flexible platform can reduce deployment risk for utilities. It can also support larger rollouts without forcing customers to depend on one communications technology. This strengthens CyanConnode’s position in tenders where reliability, interoperability and scale are key requirements.
CyanConnode Holdings plc (LON:CYAN) is a world leader in the design and development of Narrowband RF mesh networks that enable Omni Internet of Things (IoT) communications.
