Trilliant, a provider of smart communications platforms, has partnered Danish smart gas meter company Flonidan to align IoT technologies.

The partnership combines the systems expertise of Trilliant and the meter expertise of Flonidan, enabling an end-to end offering for utilities wanting to harvest the full potential of smart metering.

“This cooperation with Flonidan will allow utilities to safely and securely retrieve gas meter data, either direct via Trilliant RF WANs or utilising existing cellular networks, or via Zigbee or Wireless MBus networks, all to give actionable data into our customers’ hands,” said Richard Wiles, Trilliant’s vice president for Emea. “Working together creates a global solution for all meter connection types, including new carbon-friendly hydrogen meters, for credit and prepayment applications that require no hardware variants to provide the best total cost of ownership.”

The partnership provides a metering option that is optimised to meet the needs of energy providers. Together, Trilliant and Flonidan will collaborate to provide expertise in strategy, planning and implementation across the global marketplace.

“We share Trilliant’s commitment to smart multi-utility and multi-technology to improve operations, save costs and even more importantly lower carbon footprint,” said Flonidan sales director Pete Sanders. “We believe that the best solution comes from seeing the bigger picture, and understanding the full context in which our products and services are used. Combining our skills and expertise with those of partners and customers is the best way to an open, sustainable and workable solution.”

Trilliant empowers the energy industry with a purpose-built communications platform that enables utilities and cities to deploy any application securely and reliably on one network.

Flonidan designs, develops and manufactures gas metering products that enables professionals in public and private energy companies to meter and transmit consumption and grid details securely. Supporting a variety of connectivity technologies, the company helps users realise long-lasting value of smart metering investments.
