JioThings Smart Utility Platform is a revolutionary NB-IoT enabled future-ready solution from Jio Platforms and is backed by 4G / LTE technology, which will drive the digital transformation of the power utilities sector and help achieve the Ministry of Power & Government of India’s aim of installing 250 million smart meters.
Speaking on the solution and its mission, Kiran Thomas, CEO of Jio Platforms Limited, said, “JioThings Smart Electricity Metering solution offers a comprehensive suite of highly scalable, smart and secure solutions through a combination of IoT platform, hardware, nationwide connectivity, installation and after sales services. We believe that the smart utility platform will bring transformational benefits of latest smart technologies to the power sector. By empowering enterprises with cutting-edge, plug and play, smart solutions, we aim to accelerate the adoption of smart IoT solutions by enterprises and enable their digital transformation.”
Mr. Arun Kumar Mishra, CEO, EESL, said, “Smart Metering is the pivot around which India’s next chapter of energy security, reliability and consumer-driven market will be written. We at EESL are committed to implementing innovative solutions to enable India in reaching its energy efficiency goals.”
“EESL has brought about a paradigm shift in Smart Metering by partnering with leading digital technology companies. We were proven right by responsive digital companies like Jio and others. We are extremely pleased to have Jio as our IoT partner.
