Deploying a Smart Metering solution is hard
The technology challenges alone are daunting — and that is before you even consider the human factors.
Cost
State of the Art Smart Metering is incredibly expensive to implement
Impact
You need to change all your old meters for new, expensive Smart Meters
Infrastructure
Build a LoRaWAN/Sigfox network — huge investment, variable reliability
Tech Limits
GPRS/4G/5G is expensive to run, and won't work underground
Then you start to hit real-world people problems
Even when the technology works, engagement is the real battleground.
No wonder Smart Metering has been so controversial
The environmental cost of replacing perfectly good equipment undermines the very goals Smart Metering is meant to achieve.
