The Partnership Supports AMP8 Regulatory Framework for Smart Metering and Sustainability Initiatives.
Netmore Group, a leading global LoRaWAN network operator, today announced a collaboration with Cellnex UK to install LoRaWAN gateways on Cellnex UK’s streetworks monopole infrastructure for the delivery of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) coverage.
Following a targeted installation on 20 Cellnex UK streetworks sites earlier this year, the companies have agreed to new installations on an additional 200 sites to support Netmore’s Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) rollout for regional water utilities under the AMP8 regulatory framework.
This partnership is supported by Cellnex UK’s sustainable asset-sharing model which facilitates the co-location of operator equipment with thousands of sites available throughout the UK. It is initially focused on supporting Netmore’s network buildout in the UK after being selected by Yorkshire Water to exchange 1.3 million water meters in one of Europe’s largest LoRaWAN water metering projects.
“Cellnex UK’s innovative method of repurposing street fixtures for network deployment and densification brings substantial value to Netmore as we continually seek ways to lower network delivery costs while maintaining top-tier connectivity services for our customers. The cost efficiencies provided by Cellnex UK directly enhance the speed and scale at which we can integrate devices, such as smart water meters, into our network. We are excited to extend our partnership in this region and beyond,” says Dominic Murphy, Director of International Network Delivery.
Paul Stonadge, Commercial Director at Cellnex UK, said: “By leveraging our approach to sustainable asset-sharing, we are not only facilitating the rollout of Netmore’s cutting-edge technology, but we are also able to ensure efficient and targeted wireless coverage and capacity for its customers. Cellnex UK’s extensive infrastructure portfolio means we can provide connectivity exactly where it’s needed, whilst also providing a cost-effective solution that allows Netmore to connect to a high volume of water meters.”
