As smart meter deployments grow around the world, power utilities are gaining real-time data and insights into their customers’ energy consumption and usage patterns. But they also have many more connected devices to manage and support, located in more places than ever before. That requires secure, reliable and uninterrupted Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, as well as a way to manage all those devices in a seamless, automated way.

Using Nokia’s Worldwide IoT Network Grid (WING) platform, Hutchison 3 Indonesia (3ID) is delivering those capabilities to the country’s state-owned electricity provider — while building the foundation it needs to offer IoT services to other industries looking to deploy and connect smart devices on a massive scale.
