NORDIC BUSINESS REPORT-24 February 2005-Vodafone Sweden partners with Actaris(C)1994-2005 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com
Swedish telecomms operator Vodafone Sverige AB (Vodafone Sweden) said on Thursday (24 February) that it had concluded a partnership deal with the electricity meters and systems manufacturer Actaris.
Under the agreement the two companies have joined forces to provide power companies with a package solution including a new type of electricity meter (with inbuilt SIM card) which can be read automatically via Vodafone Sweden's mobile network.
The joint package solution would furnish power companies with a whole new type of meter-reader with inbuilt SIM card, operation and maintenance of communication systems and a central data system that collects and transfers meter data to the power companies' billing systems.
The move was motivated by new legislation that would require Swedish power companies to read all their electricity meters at least once a month by 2009.
