Verizon has teamed up with Honeywell to help utilities speed up and simplify the deployment of new communication-enabled, intelligent sensors and controls for the smart electric grid.  By integrating Verizon’s Managed Connectivity LTE solutions into Honeywell’s next-generation smart meters and other electric, gas, and water solutions, the two companies will drive energy savings by more quickly deploying smart electric grid technologies.  These technologies allow consumers to use energy at the optimum time and help utilities manage and plan for peak demand.

Combining Managed Connectivity, which will be offered as a service on Verizon’s LTE network, with Honeywell Smart Energy software, hardware and services, the collaboration will provide utility companies with a highly scalable, fully managed, open computing and communications platform to help them manage operations efficiently and safely deliver new services to their customers.

The platform will include features important to utilities, including:

  • Strong device identity and security,
  • Dynamic network authorization and access,
  • Device and application discovery,
  • Remote device monitoring and management,
  • Modem firmware and application upgrades,
  • Real-time device diagnostics, and
  • Simplified supply-chain and data access.

The open secure edge computing and networking platform enables Honeywell to incorporate technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning into its meters.  The two companies are also working to explore how 5G can transform the utility industry through higher bandwidth, faster speeds and low latency, enabling advanced industrial automation and control solutions along with real-time analytics.

The availability of Verizon Managed Connectivity firmware within LTE network interface cards and LTE edge server routers accelerates the development of a new digital ecosystem of utility connected devices on LTE at scale.
