- The combined technology offers scalability, low power operation, and simple installation, crucial for expanding smart energy networks in India.
- The smart energy metering market in India is projected to grow significantly, offering substantial revenue opportunities for innovative communication solutions.
Demonstration of Innovative Smart Metering Technology
NeoCortec will present its advanced wireless mesh networking protocol, NeoMesh, at Electronica India, taking place from September 16 to 18 at the BIEC exhibition center in Bengaluru. This technology aims to enhance smart metering systems through its collaboration with Semtech Corporation, a leader in high-performance semiconductors and IoT solutions.
The joint demonstration will take place at Semtech’s booth, H3.G11, highlighting the integration of NeoMesh and Semtech’s LR2021 transceivers. These transceivers support multiple modulation types, including FLRC, LoRa, and FSK, making them suitable for extensive smart metering networks. The NeoMesh protocol includes a native DLMS®/HDLC adaptation layer, resulting in a highly scalable, secure, and reliable wireless platform. FLRC technology is particularly effective for dense meter layouts, while LoRa can manage longer transmissions when necessary.
Thomas Steen Halkier, CEO of NeoCortec, commented on the predictions for India’s smart energy metering market, estimating growth rates between 10% and 30% CAGR over the next decade. He noted that this represents a significant revenue opportunity but emphasized the necessity for dependable and effective communications on a large scale. The partnership with Semtech enables the development of a communication framework that allows for virtually unlimited scaling and low power usage, with the added advantage of simple installation and self-healing capabilities.
Founded in 2007, NeoCortec has aimed to innovate in wireless sensor network technology. Its flagship product, NeoMesh, has been specifically designed to address limitations seen in existing technologies like Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, and Thread. These limitations include device scalability, range, and power consumption. NeoCortec seeks to enhance connectivity in both non-smart buildings and large structures by using NeoMesh technology, allowing for straightforward upgrades without extensive wiring. NeoMesh is available both as ultra-low-power communication modules and on a licensing basis across various chipsets.
The showcase at Electronica India is an opportunity for NeoCortec to engage with potential partners interested in developing advanced ecosystem solutions that can meet the exponential growth demands of smart energy metering in India.
