"Landis+Gyr has won a contract to deliver Gridstream Connect solution for Germany-based utilities firm E.ON to enable one million smart electricity meters in Sweden. The new solution for NB-IoT enabled smart meters will enable new applications and improve the efficiency of overall energy usage. It will enable real-time tracking of renewable/non-renewable energy utilization. European countries are now entering the second wave of smart meter adoption. This is expected to create a significant demand for new smart meters and platform solutions in the next five years. Thus, we may see higher adoption of NB-IoT as more operators now offer nationwide NB-IoT connectivity." – Hanish Bhatia
