Smart Meters – so-called intelligent meters – enable the consumer to become promptly and persistently aware of his consumption of electrical power, gas, water, or district heat. Smart Meters can be read-out at any time via a remote access. With the help of this, consumption and costs can be controlled better. Upon the availability of tariff rates depending on daytime and load, consumption-intensive processes can be accordingly shifted, too. This offers various saving potentials, among others, for housing societies, industrial companies and public facilities. Last but not least, the ecological power management and the establishment of smart grids featuring enhanced controllability of consumption peaks are greatly supported by the use of Smart Metering.
 
Smart Metering also offers huge use and saving potentials to operators of telecommunication networks. Efficiency counts much in the telecommunication business – this is mainly dependent on the costs for operating the network infrastructure. Therefore, one of the most urgent challenges lies in the massive increase of energy efficiency and the decrease of energy costs. But only the one who knows his exact energy consumption and the cause thereof, can reveal and open-up saving potentials. MUGLER has developed a solution package for Smart Metering and Energy Reporting specially adapted to the characteristics of telecommunication network operators. Upon comprehensive implementation thereof, energy cost savings of up to 20 % can be achieved in the medium term. We realize such complex Smart Metering solutions as complete business process from the planning, via the installation, up to the roll-out in networks and sub-networks and the operation incl. the delivery of all relevant data.
