Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) is supporting Salzburg Netz GmbH, a 100 percent-owned
subsidiary of Salzburg AG, which is a power, water and infrastructure utility
company serving the city and federal state of Salzburg, Austria, in the
introduction of smart meters.
Ericsson will provide a comprehensive IT back end solution for operating a
planned 470,000 smart meters, along with systems integration and support
services. By the year 2019, Salzburg Netz GmbH aims to provide 95 percent of
their customers with smart meters.
The smart meter deployment is a key component in the transformation of
Salzburg's power supply to include a significantly higher share of renewable
energy usage, production and distribution while reducing CO2 emissions. By
partnering with Ericsson, one of the leading global providers of smart meter
solutions, Salzburg Netz GmbH is taking a pioneering role in this transformation
in the Austrian market.
The deployment and integration of Ericsson's IT back end systems into the
utility company's IT environment has already begun. Ericsson's end-to-end
solution includes meter data management, alarm handling, workforce management, a
user-friendly consumer portal interface and comprehensive end-to-end testing.
Valter D'Avino, Head of Region Western & Central Europe, Ericsson, says: "We are
delighted that Salzburg Netz GmbH and its customers will benefit from the early
migration to smart meters, which will accelerate the implementation of effective
climate protection in Austria. In the Networked Society, ICT has the potential
to enable more economically and ecologically sustainable energy solutions.
Ericsson is therefore committed to investing in smart meters and related
technology that can create lasting benefits for people, business and society."
