Smart meters help utility companies reduce their carbon footprint by eliminating the need to visit residential properties to read the meter
As consumers, we benefit from more accurate billing and the ability to more easily monitor and manage our useage - there's also an opportunity to earn an annual income, by helping build the LoRaWAN network that monitors the smart meters
Smart meters enable a step change in the carbon footprint of the meter reading process, eliminating the need for physical meter reading activities
Smart meters also help utility companies to better manage demand, as the data is sent to the LoRaWAN aerial four times per day, rather than once per month
LoRaWAN smart meters contain a battery powered radio module that wakes up 4 times per day to transmit data to the LoRaWAN network in a short 3 second burst
LoRaWAN stands for Long Range Wide Area Network
LoRaWAN aerials are spaced about every 500 to 600 meters and are mounted on residential properties
LoRaWAN is a safe, low-power, highly effective method for reading data from a large number of smart meters
You can lease a space on your property for the LoRaWAN aerial for your neighbourhood, and you'll receive a payment of £350 annually in return
Installing aerials on residential properties is far quicker and far more cost effective than building dedicated aerial masts across the UK
Send us your postcode and house number/road and we'll check if your area needs coverage. If so, your aerial can be installed approximately 7 days later, and you'll receive £350, and £350 annually on the anniversary of the installation
