Tata Power DDL Collaborates with Probus Smart Things to Advance Smart Metering Technology

Tata Power Delhi Distribution (Tata Power-DDL) announced a significant collaboration with Probus Smart Things to revolutionize smart metering technology through the adoption of a universal Network Interface Card (NIC) with Bluetooth-enabled communication. This collaboration aims to enhance smart metering capabilities and ensure reliable and efficient communication, even in challenging network conditions.

Innovative Use Cases and Intellectual Property

As part of this partnership, Tata Power-DDL and Probus will jointly create innovative use cases to advance smart metering technology. The two companies will also file joint patents to protect the intellectual property arising from these efforts. “This initiative aligns with Tata Power-DDL’s vision of providing reliable, efficient, and sustainable solutions for our consumers,” said Gajanan S Kale, Chief Executive Officer of Tata Power-DDL.

*Universal NIC and Enhanced Connectivity*

The Universal NIC is designed to enhance smart metering capabilities by providing reliable communication even in the absence of primary networks. The Bluetooth-enabled communication ensures meter data collection and operations such as reconnection and disconnection can be carried out efficiently in challenging network conditions. The NIC also integrates seamlessly with Tata Power-DDL’s consumer mobile applications and meter reading systems, delivering an improved user experience.

Setting a New Standard

“By working closely with Tata Power-DDL, we aim to set a new standard in smart metering technology,” said Anand Singh, Founder & CEO of Probus Smart Things. The advanced NIC will initially serve Tata Power-DDL’s operations, with plans to extend its benefits to other utilities and geographies in the future.
