Sagemcom will supply entire 305 000 electricity meters, data
concentrators. The central system is shared between Sagemcom and Atos
Worldgrid which realise the end to end integration.

The solution provided by Sagemcom will use the electricity meter as
an inhouse concentrator for the data collection of the gas meters
using M-bus OMS 4.0.2. All data collected by the electric smart meter
will be transported to the data-concentrator thanks to the ITU G3-PLC
protocol. For isolated areas, electric smart meters will transport
data by mobile infrastructure.

In addition, a key differentiator of this enhanced innovative
solution is the end to end security based on DLMS security Suite 1.

"The awarding of these contracts is a major step for Luxmetering and
the seven gas and electricity DSO's in Luxembourg and kicks off the
industrial stage of the Smart Metering program for Luxembourg. The
gas and electricity smart meters deployed all over the Grand-Duchy of
Luxembourg will promote the active participation of the energy
consumers and contribute to the energy efficiency targets set by the
Luxemburgish Government compliant to the EU energy efficiency
directive. The smart metering system is based on the communication of
the electricity and gas data to a common central system, shared by
all DSO's, which will also welcome at a later stage data from water
and district heat smart meters," said Paul Hoffmann, CEO Luxmetering
G.I.E.

"The DSO's and Luxmetering gave their confidence to Sagemcom for the
entire communication chain and the System: it rewards the strategic
choices we've made over the past years,  which allow us today to be
the main solution provider on the entire communication smart
multi-energy meter chain. Moreover, this project is a significant
step forward in terms of security enhancement. We are proud of this
success that will actively participate to the deployment of this type
of solution," said Eric Rieul, Deputy CEO of Sagemcom Energy &
Telecom.
