Next-generation smart meter procurement
Supported E.ON’s next-generation smart meter procurement as a smart meter communication and integration expert.
The problem
E.ON was procuring next-generation smart meters while evaluating NB-IoT with different mobile network operators.
What Henrik owned
Henrik handled DLMS/COSEM-specific requirements and worked as a smart meter communication and integration expert. In parallel, he built test hardware for NB-IoT evaluation and assessed coverage, data throughput and DLMS/COSEM behaviour over NB-IoT.
Work delivered
- Defined and reviewed DLMS/COSEM-specific procurement requirements
- Advised on smart meter communication and integration
- Ran NB-IoT evaluation tests with different mobile network operators
- Built dedicated test hardware
- Focused testing on coverage, data throughput and DLMS/COSEM behaviour over NB-IoT
Technical approach
The work combined procurement requirements with practical communication testing: translate DLMS/COSEM needs into tender material, then verify how the protocol behaved over NB-IoT under different network conditions.
Where it stands
Contributed during the procurement and NB-IoT evaluation phase before moving to a new assignment.
