The Government should be for a single long-range radio-based network, separate it from existing networks, and call it as critical national infrastructure, says the SmartReach Consortium on the British £ 10 billion go smart meter project in its template. The consortium consisting of BT, Arqiva and Detica was responds to Government calls for ideas, like 26 million premises with 47 million new meters for gas and electricity is smart auszustatten.Ziel to reduce energy consumption and lower CO2 emissions of the country of 2.6 million tons per year.
SmartReach is pitching for the network that would combine all the meters with central or regional processing centres. It said a single network would have cut costs would reduce multiple service provider contracts, and system integration risks. It called for Government to deployment plans faster and do things at the same time.Procurement should begin in the spring of 2011, said es.Dies would reduce risk by you more time for procurement and testing.It would speed up income from investments and CO2 savings.
SmartReach said existing mobile networks only 70% of households could achieve.It would be expensive for you to reach the other 30%, it said. It calls for security to "from the ground to build" said it create and store detailed data household energy consumption patterns it a target for hackers and data thieves privacy würde.Wenn make initial meters deployments without robust security made upgrade would be very expensive and less effective it said. SmartReach also called for the network to support water meter smart and future smart grid applications like e.g. remote control of stoves and Kühlschränke.Diese apps part of the original investment in smart metering should be, he said.
