Smart Metering as a Service (SMaaS)
Overview
Smart Metering as a Service (SMaaS) is an evolved version of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technologies that enables customers to gain insights about their utility consumption patterns viz. water, electricity, and gas. Apart from fast-tracking the deployment of AMI solutions, SMaaS also reduces the operational costs for companies.
