What if electricity, gas and water meters could all operate on a single communication network?
As utilities expand their smart grid ecosystems, managing millions of connected devices across multiple networks can quickly increase complexity, costs and long-term operational challenges.
The new G3 certification release on 1st June 2026 introduces an unified approach: enabling battery-powered gas and water meters, customer interface units and other RF devices to seamlessly integrate into existing G3-Hybrid networks.
The result:
✔ Simplified multi-utility metering
✔ Lower operational complexity and total cost of ownership
✔ Battery-powered device support with lifetimes of up to 20 years
✔ End-to-end IPv6 connectivity
✔ Proven interoperability and backwards compatibility
With more than 100 million G3 devices already deployed worldwide, this latest certification milestone extends the benefits of G3 technology beyond electricity metering and opens new opportunities for integrated smart utility networks.
