Echelon Corporation has entered into a technology licensing agreement with ELO Sistemas Eletronicos (ELO) under which ELO will develop and market smart electricity meters based on Echelon’s Networked Energy Services (NES) smart grid infrastructure solution.
The parties intend to initially focus on the Brazilian and select Latin American smart meter markets, representing over 100 million electricity meters. ELO is the leading supplier of digital electricity meters in the Brazilian market, with an estimated 40% market share.
In October of 2009 Brazil’s energy regulator, Aneel, announced tentative plans for a nationwide rollout of smart metering, expecting to replace approximately 63 million electricity meters in the country with smart meters by 2021.

Feb 09 – New Partnership with SAP Announced
The new state-of-the-art meter data unification and synchronization (MDUS) system will act as the conduit between Landis+Gyr’s Advanced Metering Management (AMM) head-end system and SAP’s comprehensive business software for utilities, including the SAP(R) AMI Integration for Utilities software, covering functions such as billing and customer relation management. Landis+Gyr’s MDUS is an integration of the respective Landis+Gyr and SAP systems, and as an operator, will be able to activate many functions across both networks from one access point or terminal.
Landis+Gyr’s MDUS system will be highly scalable and able to work with the smallest utilities and metering systems of anywhere up to several million metering points. It will deliver a high degree of data transparency with bi-directional flow of information and control.
