19 Sep 2008NURI Telecom is extending ZigBee's capabilities beyond the HAN by using ZigBee standard technology for the NAN implementation as well. In Europe, the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, is in the process of deploying the world's largest ZigBee-based AMI network for its 270,000 home.
Göteborg Energi AB is using the AiMiR AMM System form NURI Telecom, making it the world's first company to cover a whole city with a wireless ZigBee infrastructure for metering service.
Göteborg Energi AB plans to save millions of euros by eliminating manual meter reading and being able to bill actual usage to the customers. Future plans include extending the technology into the home via HANs for demand response applications as well as home monitoring service.
