The metering solution utilizes LoRa Technology’s proven long-range platform to connect to the Cloud and monitor gas consumption data, battery charge status and valve status. Goldcard's LoRa-based smart gas metering solutions are equipped with an intelligent controller and LoRaWAN®-based communication module. As a global leader in smart gas meters with the largest market share in China’s gas metering market, Goldcard is committed to providing solutions for gas companies to achieve successful and efficient operational management.”
“Since implementing LoRa Technology into our smart gas metering solutions, utility providers have seen a marked reduction of waste with an estimated up to 25% in savings. "Goldcard chose Semtech’s LoRa Technology due to its unique advantages for smart utilities, ability to simplify deployment and accelerate products to market,” said Ma Libo, Product Director of the Overseas Business Division of Goldcard. (Goldcard), a Chinese provider of leading smart public utility solutions, has incorporated Semtech’s LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology) into its smart gas metering products to help public utility companies improve efficiency and reduce management costs. Utility providers deploying Goldcard’s LoRa-based solutions have seen an estimated up to 25% in savingsĬAMARILLO, Calif., – Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced that Goldcard Smart Group Co., Ltd. When combined with the considerable benefits of remote management and a more compact design, the eSIM is well positioned to effectively address the challenges posed by smart metering deployments which require mobile connectivity.įor device makers and utility companies who do not initially require mobile connectivity, an embedded secure element (eSE) is an alternative option to effectively address key security challenges.Semtech’s LoRa® Technology Enables Goldcard to Achieve Smart Utility Management
It is based on the proven, established and secure UICC platform, and is certified and specified by the GSMA to deliver secure mobile connectivity. The eSIM is already widely deployed across various M2M and IoT use cases and its role in enhancing security and reducing complexity is widely recognised. This could cause major disruption to utility supplies and / or the underlying connectivity network. Unauthorised network access – poorly protected smart meters could allow attackers to access the wider network. With the increasing connectivity of utility networks presenting an expanded threat-landscape, smart meters are high-value targets for cyber-attackers and must be protected.
Threat to critical infrastructure – disruption of critical infrastructure can have a significant political, economic and social impact. Protecting the data stored on the device and over the network must be a priority. Privacy –consumption data stored on or transmitted by smart meters could make it possible for unauthorised entities to identify or anticipate the behaviours of individual households or organisations. Those involved in advancing smart meter deployment must consider multiple logistical and security requirements: Other examples include demand response, utility data management and distributed utility resource management.
Smart metering is just one of many use cases within the utilities sector which can benefit from the eSIM. Smart metering will also make it possible to harness the huge power of the sharing economy to manage and meet increasing demand for utilities, through the real-time diversion of resources to where they are needed most. The global expansion of smart meter deployments has been driven in part by governmental regulation, due to a requirement for real-time consumption data to better manage supplies.Īccording to the GSMA, in the future, smart metering deployment will be a key enabler of smart cities and industry 4.0, delivering the data required to ensure services are efficient and sustainable.
