Collaboration between Aurum and Vodafone: Innovation in energy saving with Narrowband-IoT
The energy market is in a constant state of evolution, driven by the need for sustainability and efficiency. Aurum Europe, a pioneer in energy management, aims to provide consumers with insights into their energy consumption and opportunities for savings. To achieve this goal, Aurum collaborates with Vodafone to implement advanced connectivity solutions. This collaboration has led to the deployment of Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) technology, resulting in strong coverage and low energy consumption.
Challenges:
- Reliable and continuous connectivity without reliance on customer networks.
- Developing new services and closed-loop systems for energy management.
- Improving the lifespan and efficiency of metering equipment in challenging environments such as meter cabinets.
Solution:
Aurum chose Vodafone’s Narrowband-IoT as the best solution for their connectivity needs. This technology provides strong coverage and low energy consumption, essential for long-term and reliable data transmission. The key features of the implementation include:
- Smart metering technology: The Nextalink in the meter cabinet, connected via NB-IoT, collects and transmits data at a specific frequency to the end-user. Thanks to its strong coverage and low energy consumption, this metering equipment can last up to ten years without maintenance.
- Real-time data and insights: The Nextalink makes the energy consumption of various devices visible to business users and consumers, leading to awareness and behavioral change. This results in lower energy consumption, with an average reduction of 11% in gas consumption and 10% in electricity consumption for users of Aurum solutions.
Results:
- Efficient energy management: Through the collaboration with Vodafone and the use of NB-IoT, Aurum offers a robust and efficient solution for energy management. Customers gain deep insights into their energy consumption and savings opportunities.
- Sustainability and cost savings: Aurum’s solutions contribute to both sustainability and cost savings. The average savings in gas and electricity consumption demonstrate the effectiveness of this technology.
- Future-oriented innovation: The collaboration between Aurum and Vodafone sets the standard for future developments in the energy market. Through automated energy savings and smart connectivity, both companies continue to lead in technological innovations.
The collaboration between Aurum and Vodafone demonstrates how innovative technologies like Narrowband-IoT can contribute to sustainability and efficiency in the energy market. With Aurum’s solutions and Vodafone’s connectivity solutions, consumers are better equipped to manage and optimize their energy consumption. This not only reduces energy bills but also makes a significant contribution to a more sustainable future.
