Practical Solutions for Digital Metering and Intelligent Utilities

From proving the business case to operating digital metering at scale, our solutions combine technology, specialist expertise and reusable capability to solve the most common challenges facing utilities and councils.

Everything required to move from strategy to scalable operations

Every utility starts from a different place. Whether you're developing a business case, validating technology, deploying a digital metering platform or optimising day-to-day operations, N3 Edge provides the expertise, products and managed services to help you move forward with confidence.


Our connected capabilities span strategy, delivery, platforms, data, integration and ongoing operations, giving utilities a single partner from investment decisions through to business-as-usual.

Digital metering strategy & readiness

For utilities and councils preparing to invest, pilot or scale.

We help organisations define the outcomes, operating model, roadmap and investment case required for a successful digital metering program.


This includes:

  • Digital metering strategy
  • Business case development
  • Operating model design
  • Benefits realisation planning
  • Technology and vendor evaluation
  • Rollout and BAU roadmap

Outcome

A clear, evidence-based pathway from investment decision to scalable operations.

Pilot & technology validation

For organisations that need to prove technology and outcomes before committing to scale.

We design and validate pilots across devices, networks, platforms, data and operational processes.


This includes:

  • Pilot design and delivery
  • Lab as a Service (LaaS)
  • Device and network validation
  • Interoperability testing
  • Platform and integration testing
  • Benefits tracking and scale-readiness assessment

Outcome

Reduced risk and stronger evidence for rollout decisions.

Intelligent networks & Cumulocity IoT

For organisations moving beyond meter reads into connected infrastructure and network intelligence.

We design and deliver Cumulocity IoT solutions that connect devices, data and operational teams across intelligent utility environments.


This includes:

  • Device and sensor integration
  • Cumulocity configuration and extension
  • Pressure, flow and network monitoring
  • Alarm and workflow automation
  • Operational dashboards
  • Intelligent network use cases

Outcome

Better visibility, earlier issue detection and more proactive operations.

Data, integration & inter-operability

For organisations dealing with fragmented platforms, inconsistent data or difficult integrations.

We transform complex device and platform data into trusted, structured information that can be used across billing, analytics and operations.


This includes:

  • Common data models
  • Device payload decoding
  • Data normalisation
  • Integration microservices
  • Billing, ERP and analytics pipelines
  • Multi-vendor interoperability

Outcome

Trusted data that moves reliably across the digital ecosystem.

Data Visualisation

For utilities and councils seeking to turn metering data into customer value.

Our Data Visualisation offerings provide practical web and mobile experiences without the cost and complexity of large standalone platforms.


This includes:

  • Customer web and mobile interfaces
  • Consumption visibility
  • Leak alerts and notifications
  • Utility administration portal
  • Engagement and benefits realisation support

Outcome

Greater customer visibility, stronger engagement and measurable outcomes.

Managed digital metering operations

For organisations that need specialist support after deployment.

We provide proactive operational support across devices, connectivity, platforms, data and vendors.


This includes:

  • Device and connectivity monitoring
  • Alarm and exception management
  • Platform and integration support
  • Data quality monitoring
  • SLA and performance reporting
  • Vendor coordination and continuous optimisation

Outcome

Dependable BAU operations and sustained value from the investment.

Network as a service

For utilities that need reliable connectivity without managing multiple networks and providers.

N3 Edge provides a managed connectivity model that brings together the networks, monitoring and support required for dependable digital metering communications.


This includes:

  • Managed connectivity
  • Multi-network support
  • Coverage validation
  • Network performance monitoring
  • Single operational model
  • Ongoing optimisation and support

Outcome

Reliable connectivity through one managed service.
