Meters and More’s declared goal is to also become a reference for real-time

communication to customers, smart grids and smart city applications

Principles:

openness, interoperability, efficiency, robustness and

security of communications

Interoperable end-to-end solution for smart metering,

Extensions for complementary value-added

services

Additional Working Packages:

for a new generation communication solution between

the meter and end-customer devices;

SMITP-compatible communication technologies for

smart city applications

In line with EC focus on energy efficiency

Meters and MoreFostering Standards Convergence

Customer empowerment

Interoperability with third party devices with open protocol

TLC ConvergenceNew telecommunication backbone for network automation

11 Server Farms e 17 “slave” sites linked with:

- North-south backbone (“core”) in O.F. up to 10 Gb/s

connecting 6 main nodes;

- a meshed access network (“edge”) equipped with links

up to 2,5 Gb/s for the other nodes.

Nodes equipped with CISCO-ASR technology to

satisfy efficiently and with high reliability and

security the following needs:

- Technological renewal of communication network

devoted to remote control (old ATM/FR net and old

networking devices);

- Evolution of SCADA/DMS architecture (virtualization

and concentration of server farms)

- Massive deployment of Smart Grid applications on MV

and LV networks;

- Data collection from remote metering concentrators;

- Evolution of DMS architecture (ADMSv3).

Current context1 Enel strategy

Leverage on the widespread power distribution

network covering ~85% of the population

Roll-out a national and future-proof fiber network at a cost

advantage (up to ~60% of infrastructure re-utilization)

Set up of a NewCo open to all interested parties

to offer wholesale services to the market

in a non-discriminatory way

Potential to replicate in other countries

where Enel has a presence
