The connected device challenge
New technology, with smarter Meters, new IoT devices, and new user interfaces is leading to a great challenge - to build new products that meet users wants and needs while being efficient in their use of energy and data spectrum.
This challenge needs a mix of technical leadership, marketing experience, security knowledge and solid product specification experience to ensure that investment in product specification and development provides financial, environmental and reputational returns.
Buss Metering Services Ltd was founded in 2012, to provide their clients with an independent view and skills to achieve the best possible returns on thse investments.
Over the last 5 years, we have supported a market introduction of a new IoT radio technology, the development of a technology standard with over 6 million devices operating, the development of a highly-secure protocol implementation, the interoperability testing of the implementation, and the specification of technical products for national infrastructure programs in the UK and Europe.
We can all agree that the world is beautiful. We support the use of technology to enhance our lives without spoiling the beauty around us.
