Working with Landis+Gyr, Energie Wasser Bern (EWB) in Switzerland, successfully completed a pilot project for broadband utility to the last mile. Starting with 4,500 measuring points, EWB and Landis + Gyr jointly implemented a G3-ALLIANCE based smart metering solution via the Bern fiber-optic network. With Landis+Gyr’s FttH reference architecture, a combination of the intelligent electricity meter E450 and the new data concentrator DC250, EWB was able to use the range of G3-ALLIANCE to get last mile broadband connectivity and take advantage of the high-performance fiber optic network such as high data rates and high reliability.
