EDMI has provided metering devices and its Energy Cloud software to millions of endpoints around the world, enabling a multifarious range of capabilities for its customers, including: end customer billing; metre data management; demand response; distribution network management with transformer monitoring and power quality measurement; and distributed solar generation monitoring and loss management.

Hima Mukkamala, SVP and GM of IoT Cloud Services at Arm, added: "Smart meters can help utilities quickly localize and address an outage, detect power theft, and provide cost savings and new revenue streams, but the deployments need to be scalable and secure. 

"We are partnering with EDMI to provide utilities with a secure end-to-end solution to develop, deploy, connect and manage smart meters through Mbed OS and the Pelion IoT platform."
