Modernizing Utility Operations Beyond the Grid

Utilities worldwide are accelerating smart meter deployments, but traditional connectivity models struggle to keep pace with the realities of rural, remote, and hard-to-reach environments. Aging infrastructure, evolving security requirements, and long asset lifecycles are pushing utilities and smart meter OEMs to rethink how data is collected, transmitted, and acted upon over decades of operation.  

This Whitepaper explores how satellite-enabled IoT plays a critical role in modern smart metering strategies, extending coverage beyond cellular limits, enabling two-way command and control, and supporting long-life, low-power deployments. It examines how utilities can design resilient, future-ready metering architectures that support regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and long-term scalability without adding unnecessary complexity.
