Energise/m2mAccelerating your business

Utility providers within the Netherlands are fully aware of the market’s main drivers and

challenges. Perhaps the most important of these is finding new ways to save energy and

water, thus making the future greener for our society. One of the first steps towards

achieving this is by making households and businesses more aware of their energy

usage. This calls for more accurate consumption measurements than ever before, in the

form of smart metering, which can be used to strengthen the case for changing the way

we consume energy. BusinessAccelerator/m2m

The utilities market is in a unique position,

compared with other markets, since it is not

only commercial but also fulfils a social role.

It is, therefore, subject to greater amounts of

legislation and regulation, both domestically

and on a Europe-wide level. One universal

market driver within the EU is that smart me-

ters, incorporating machine-to-machine (m2m)

technology, must be installed in 90% of house-

holds by 2020. Over the coming years, this will

affect almost all households within the EU.

stall smart meters in almost all EU homes, along

with the associated costs, utilities companies

are seeking to make this operation as efficient

and cost-effective as possible, but are also look-

ing at ways to gain new revenue streams built

around smart meters.

Accurate meter readings are a prerequisite for

households and companies to invest in decen-

tralised sustainable energy production, through

their own solar panels and wind turbines, since

surplus energy passed on to the national grid is

also accurately measured and compensated.

Imagine…… If you could receive accurate, real-time

readings of your customers’ electricity, water

and gas usage on a minute-by-minute basis.

… If your customers could turn their central

heating on or off remotely, to warm up their

homes before they return or to save energy

when it is not needed.

… If your customers could link their smart

meters’ connectivity to their home security

systems, with guaranteed network coverage

for (automatic) alarm calls.

With KPN’s Energise/m2m solutions, you no

longer need to imagine, since all this and much,

much more is already possible.

KPN BusinessAccelerator/m2mKPN’s BusinessAccelerator/m2m programme

places your business at its heart. It starts with

KPN gaining an in-depth understanding of your

business. Acting as a consultant and with the

support of our extensive network of partners,

KPN focuses on providing customised solutions

for specific business situations.

To get the most out of connectivity, utility com-

panies need flexibility in solutions, pricing and

billing. KPN not only offers you a single contact

centre, but you can also choose from different

pricing models, such as a monthly SIM card

subscription or a prepaid subscription.

Energise/m2mKPN’s mature Energise/m2m solutions provide

utilities companies with reliable connections

between smart meters, at any location, and

their data collection systems. In order for smart

metering to be useful, it needs to be capable

of providing 100% accurate readings on a daily

basis, or even more frequently. KPN guarantees

the reliability not only of its m2m connectivity

but can also collect the meter readings for you,

as well as providing additional back-office func-

tionality. In fact, KPN is already providing m2m

connectivity and services to large Dutch elec-

tricity providers, and is developing new services

together with these companies.

Energise/m2m solutions offer:

� Simplicity: 1 SIM card for multiple

applications throughout the Netherlands,

all covered by a single contract

� Reliability: always the best possible

coverage

� Control: the ability to monitor and manage
