19 July 2022
Nordic electricity utility industry company Aidon, who provides smart metering, smart grids, and services, has signed an agreement with Telenor IoT to connect Aidon’s smart energy service devices.
Aidon was looking for a global connectivity partner to support its growing business in the Nordics and in selected countries in Central Europe, with a strong position in those markets, and a strong focus on IoT connectivity innovations.
Paulo Vergos, Chief Sales and Solution Officer Nordics at Telenor IoT, says, “IoT plays a significant role within the utility and smart meter industry and is a key enabler of increased efficiency. We are proud to welcome yet another innovative key player and a leading Nordic smart energy service device vendor to us, and we are looking forward to connecting their products, and to seeing them grow.”
Tommi Blomberg, CEO at Aidon, says, “Aidon will be supplying an increasing number of point-to-point and point to multipoint connected IoT smart metering devices in coming years. This partnership gives Aidon customers the freedom to tailor their metering solutions in a new, hybrid way, perfectly suited for each individual case. When we were seeking partners for IoT connectivity, Telenor IoT was an excellent fit for our innovative and customer-oriented way of working. We are pleased to announce our partnership with Telenor IoT and are looking forward to bringing their services to many of our new and existing customers as part of our solutions.”
Headquarted in Finland, Aidon claims to be the first company in the world to equip energy meters with sensors to detect events in the low voltage electricity grid. Today, Aidon applies its advanced analytic methods to near to real-time sensor data collected by its smart meters and devices, and there are around 4 million Aidon smart energy devices in use in the Nordics.
This enables its customers, the energy distribution service operators, to implement preventative and predictive maintenance practices, and secure reliable distribution of energy as well as boost their grid operations. For this purpose, a robust connectivity solution with high performance was necessary.
Aidon and Telenor IoT are among the first players on the market to provide an industrial implementation for GSMA eSIM SGP.31 standard enabling remote operator change.
