Landis+Gyr serves more than 2,000 utilities worldwide and has more than 180 million connected intelligent devices in the field. In North America alone, the installed base of smart electricity meters is expected to grow from 152.4 million in 2024 to 180.9 million by 2030, according to Berg Insight.This is where the latest generation of Thales eSIM technology is supporting the increasing need for cellular IoT. Compliant with the GSMA’s SGP.32 specification, it enables remotely managing connectivity on IoT devices, allowing network profiles to be provisioned, changed or managed over the air. By reducing reliance on physical SIM replacement and supporting interoperability across the IoT ecosystem, it provides a foundation for more flexible and scalable connectivity management. Thales’ eSIM solution, combined with Simetric’s “single pane of glass” platform, simplifies connectivity provisioning and acts as a control tower for the entire fleet, giving utilities a centralized view to monitor, manage, analyse and orchestrate their connected assets; helping them support the continued growth of massive IoT deployments.For smart metering, this can translate into a significant operational shift: connectivity can be managed remotely for an individual meter or an entire fleet, helping utilities reduce field interventions, adapt to changing network conditions, strengthen the resilience of their infrastructure and maintain service continuity over its lifetime. Importantly, the solution supports both SIM- and eSIM-enabled devices, providing a unified view of network operations across the entire fleet, regardless of the technology deployed.“No utility wants to replace thousands of devices just because technology changes,” Roque Martin, Senior Vice President of Connected Platforms at Landis+Gyr. “Our collaboration with Thales helps solve that challenge by giving utilities the flexibility to adapt connectivity over time without swapping out hardware in the field. As this capability becomes part of our Revelo® and Surent® platforms, customers can choose the network approach that works best for them today and adjust as their needs evolve in the future.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. lays the foundation for scalable and flexible smart metering connectivity, but its real value lies in turning connectivity into a strategic operational asset,” Nicolas Bouverot, VP Mobile Connectivity Solutions at Thales. “As deployments scale, utilities need automation, a single pane of glass and real-time control across millions of connected devices. Together with Simetric, we help utilities move from simply managing connectivity to intelligently orchestrating it; ensuring the right meter is connected to the right network at the right time throughout its lifecycle.”Thales brings extensive expertise in secure connectivity and eSIM management to the IoT market.
