The utilities industry faces new pressures from increasing global energy demand (set to double by 2050), concern about climate change, carbon emissions, security of supply, and including alternate source of energy within the system. Improving operational efficiency and meeting increasing customer expectations also drive utilities to improve business processes. Smart metering and energy analytics, key areas of M2M, are helping to address these pressures and challenges and are fast becoming a must adopt strategy to resolve the energy challenge for a better future. According to analyst firm, Analysys Mason, the utilities sector represents the fastest-growing M2M market and is set to account for 67% of overall M2M device connections worldwide by 2023. M2M Connectivity will be exhibiting at Smart Utlities 2013 in November, showcasing Inmarsat satellite M2M products from 2 way messaging through to full Ethernet connectivity. These products help utilities manage their business at the very edge, in locations where cellular and other communications are simply not available.
