Tata Communications will work with Mahanagar Gas (MGL) to deploy 5,000 smart gas meters in Mumbai. The telecom operator, on Tuesday, said that the new smart meters will give households and businesses visibility and control over their gas usage, allowing MGLto improve its operational efficiencies. <\/p>\n
Tata Communications\u2019 public Internet of Things (IoT) network will provide connectivity to MGL\u2019s smart meters. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to help our customers better understand their energy use, save money and reduce their carbon footprint – while improving our own operational efficiencies,\u201d said Rajeev Mathur, managing director Mahanagar Gas Limited. <\/p>\n
As the global smart gas market is set to grow from around $1.59 billion in 2016 to $2.27 billion by 2021, it is expected that there will be around 130 million smart meters across India in the next three years, said Tata Communications in its statement. <\/p>\n
This infrastructure is based on an ultra-low-power, long-range network, which enables MGL to simultaneously monitor thousands of smart meters. It means that its customers won\u2019t have to manually check their gas meter readings \u2013 instead the smart system will automatically track their gas usage. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur recent India \u2013wide research found that the home is where people expect IoT to make a big difference, with over 90% of people surveyed saying that they would like to use IoT to monitor their home appliances remotely in real-time, for example,\u201d said VS Shridhar, senior vice president and head for Internet of Things, Tata Communications.<\/p>\n
Tata Communications is building the foundation for IoT in India with the world’s largest IoT network, spanning nearly 2,000 communities and touching over 400 million people. To-date, the company has rolled out the LoRaWANTM network in 38 cities, with more cities planned for implementation over the next two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
