Eppeltone has announced the adoption of the Wirepas Certified platform for its smart electricity meters, reinforcing its commitment to delivering dependable, standards-compliant solutions for utilities across India. The move is aimed at improving interoperability, strengthening communication reliability and supporting seamless integration with evolving energy networks.
Built on a self-organising mesh network design, the Wirepas Certified platform enables connected devices to communicate intelligently and adjust automatically to changing network conditions. By integrating this technology, Eppeltone’s smart meters can maintain consistent data flow and performance without requiring extensive additional infrastructure, making deployments more efficient for utilities.
“Our adoption of the Wirepas Certified platform reflects our focus on building smart metering solutions utilities can rely on,” said Lalith Rao, President at Eppeltone. “The certification confirms that our meters meet recognised performance standards and can operate effectively across varied operating environments while integrating smoothly with existing systems.”
The mesh-based architecture also allows meters to work together within a network, improving resilience and enabling utilities to scale projects more easily. This flexibility supports consistent performance across urban centres, remote rural locations and mixed infrastructure areas, helping utilities expand smart metering programmes with greater confidence.
“The Wirepas Certified platform ensures predictable network behaviour and interoperability,” said Sebastian Pellorce, Senior Vice President AMI India at Wirepas. “Eppeltone’s adoption of this platform demonstrates a practical approach to building smart metering systems that utilities can deploy quickly and manage reliably.”
Eppeltone specialises in smart energy technologies, offering advanced metering systems, grid modernisation solutions and IoT-enabled energy management platforms. The company focuses on delivering scalable, interoperable technologies that help utilities improve operational efficiency, enhance service delivery and support sustainability initiatives across the energy sector.
