VIENNA -- Telekom Austria Group M2M and bsf IT-Solutions have today announced a new partnership, committed to replacing conventional electric meters of numerous power grid operators with smart meters. Bsf IT-Solutions will deliver a ready-for-use fully integrated and secured smart metering system for 23 grid operators with a total of 35,000 customer power systems in Austria.

Telekom Austria Group is the leading telecom operator in Austria with extensive know-how and hands-on experiences in the area of smart metering roll-out.

bsf IT-Solutions provides billing systems and IT solutions for power grid operators which are the perfect addition to the current smart metering portfolio of Telekom Austria Group M2M. These include, in addition to the smart metering systems of the company’s partners Kamstrup and Kaifa (Österreich Zähler), a centralized operated Meter Data Management solution of the German market leader Görlitz as well as the transmission of data via A1 high-performance communications network.

Bernd Liebscher, Managing Director Telekom Austria Group M2M, said about the new partnership: “We are delighted to be able to jointly achieve with bsf IT-Solutions the next smart metering roll-outs in Austria. Our portfolio encompasses all relevant modules ranging from the provision of the smart metering technology and the central IT systems for Meter Data Management up to the transmission of data."
