9 Elster Smart Gas Meters today Market specific UK (SMETS2, 2.4 GHz ZigBee) Netherlands (DSMR, 868 wm-bus & hard wired M-Bus) Germany (OMS, 868 wm-bus & hard wired M-Bus) Italy (UNI/ TS), France. Focussed on Modularity Battery Lifetime & Energy saving mechanism Data Security Support of European Smart Metering trials and initial roll outs Production capacity & quality Suitable for the whole range of Elster Meters Not just G4 9

10 General Statements Currently various number of smart metering trials ongoing, mostly driven by electricity Data security concepts for mass roll out need to be defined and implemented Diaphragm Gas Meter as measuring sensor is hard to beat and easy to combine with electronics. Long proven technology with appr. 200Mio installations EUwide Long lifetime / robust / battery free / very low operational costs No limitation of legal metrology aspects 10

11 Summary Define requirements & specification for meter & network infrastructure Choose manufactures with production quality & capacity R&D capabilities Develop Meter & network infrastructure Intensive and comprehensive tests on Product (Product Acceptance Tests) Chain Tests (End to End system tests) Use synergies with other utilities/ countries 11
