关于客户
这家总部位于美国的能源公用事业公司拥有数千名员工，为数百万客户提供电力和天然气服务。他们服务的地区既包括人口密集的社区，也包括农村社区，这些社区都需要定期计费、维护和客户服务支持。对于这家市值数十亿美元的公司来说，多年来在智能电表和电线杆上的自动传感器的数字化转型方面的战略投资帮助他们在客户服务和持续供电方面保持了为自己设定的高标准。这家能源公司整个生态系统的技术改进使计费、客户服务和服务交付更加稳定、一致和高效。然而，它需要内部网络基础设施和多个供应商来支持在整个环境中运行的应用程序。
挑战
该能源公司正在实施新的私有 LTE 环境，以支持其数字化转型和关键通信服务。他们需要确保在 LTE 环境中服务投入生产后立即提供高质量的服务。多年来，维护这些数字化转型的成本也不断增加，以至于 IT 和高管领导层得出结论，实施私有长期演进 (LTE) 环境将有助于改善运行当今和未来技术进步所需的成本和服务质量。该计划包括将上述关键业务服务和功能等引入新的 LTE 基础设施。这家能源公司的 IT 人员认识到，多年来，他们一直要求其 WAN、Internet 和蜂窝服务提供商遵守严格的服务水平协议，以确保高质量地交付所有服务。
解决方案
该能源公司选择 NETSCOUT® 来提供必要的可视性，以帮助他们保护新 LTE 环境中所有应用服务的可用性和服务保证。IT 团队利用 NETSCOUT 在支持 LTE 全球供应商（无论大小）方面的丰富经验，在其未来环境中提供基于数据包的实时监控和分析。通过尽早启动该流程，该团队已经能够制定计划来获取和实施 nGeniusONE 服务保证解决方案，以实现主动的端到端监控和分析。实施将与 LTE 部署的每个部分协同进行，以确保在切换开始之前进行预生产测试以验证服务的质量交付。NETSCOUT 解决方案的关键要素包括用于认证 5100 系列数据包流交换机的 nGenius 数据包流操作软件、nGeniusONE 服务保证解决方案、nGenius 会话分析器以及无线接入网络 (RAN) 监控和故障排除。

IoT Solutions for Smart City | Internet of Things Case Study
There were several challenges faced: It is challenging to build an appliance that can withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from as low at 90v to as high as 320v. Since the device would be installed in remote locations, its resilience was of paramount importance. The device would have to deal with poor network coverage and have the ability to store and re-transmit data if networks were not available, which is often the case in rural India. The device could store up to 30 days of data.

Automation of the Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline, Azerbaijan
The Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline project dates back to plans from the 1970’s. Baku’s growth was historically driven by the booming oil industry and required the import of drinking water from outside of the city. Before the construction of the pipeline, some 60 percent of the city’s households received water for only a few hours daily. After completion of the project, 75 percent of the two million Baku residents are now served around the clock with potable water, based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The 262-kilometer pipeline requires no pumping station, but uses the altitude differences between the Caucasian mountains and the capital to supply 432,000 m³/d to the Ceyranbatan water reservoir. To the people of Baku, the pipeline is “the most important project not only in 2010, but of the last 20 years.”

GPRS Mobile Network for Smart Metering
Around the world, the electricity supply industry is turning to ‘smart’ meters to lower costs, reduce emissions and improve the management of customer supplies. Smart meters collect detailed consumption information and using this feedback consumers can better understand their energy usage which in turn enables them to modify their consumption to save money and help to cut carbon emissions. A smart meter can be defined in many ways, but generally includes an element of two-way communication between the household meter and the utility provider to efficiently collect detailed energy usage data. Some implementations include consumer feedback beyond the energy bill to include online web data, SMS text messages or an information display in consumers’ premises. Providing a cost-effective, reliable communications mechanism is one of the most challenging aspects of a smart meter implementation. In New Zealand, the utilities have embraced smart metering and designed cost effective ways for it to be implemented. The New Zealand government has encouraged such a move to smart metering by ensuring the energy legislation is consistent with the delivery of benefits to the consumer while allowing innovation in this area. On the ground, AMS is a leader in the deployment of smart metering and associated services. Several of New Zealand’s energy retailers were looking for smart metering services for their residential and small business customers which will eventually account for over 500,000 meters when the multi-year national deployment program is concluded. To respond to these requirements, AMS needed to put together a solution that included data communications between each meter and the central data collection point and the solution proposed by Vodafone satisfied that requirement.

NB-IoT connected smart meters to improve gas metering in Shenzhen
Shenzhen Gas has a large fleet of existing gas meters, which are installed in a variety of hard to reach locations, such as indoors and underground, meaning that existing communications networks have struggled to maintain connectivity with all meters. The meter success rate is low, data transmissions are so far unstable and power consumption is too high. Against this background, Shenzhen Gas, China Telecom, Huawei, and Goldcard have jointly trialed NB-IoT gas meters to try and solve some of the challenges that the industry faces with today’s smart gas meters.

British Gas Modernizes its Operations with Innovative Smart Metering Deployment
The UK government has mandated that smart meters are rolled out as standard across Great Britain by end of 2020, and this roll-out is estimated to create £14 billion in net benefits to the UK in consumer energy savings and lower energy generation demand, according to the Oxford Economics report, “The Value of Smart Metering to Great Britain.” While smart-metering systems have been deployed in many countries, the roll-out in Great Britain is unique because it is led by energy retailers, who have responsibility for the Electricity and Gas meters. The decision to have a retailer-led roll out was made by DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) to improve customer experience and drive consumer benefits. It has also led to some unique system-level requirements to support the unique local regulatory model.
