"Skyworks is at the forefront of the innovative technology enabling many
of today's smart energy platforms, from smart meters to advanced
metering infrastructure systems," said John O'Neill, vice president of
broad markets for
Smart meters are digital meters that send energy usage information from the customer site to a utility company via radio frequency. These newer digital electronic devices are capable of tracking and recording a customer's energy usage as well as communicating with the energy supplier. Smart meters help to reduce meter reading and connection costs as well as inefficiencies in operations and billing.
According to a Business Intelligence (BI) report, smart meters have become one of the leading Internet of Things (IoT) devices and will account for 10 percent of IoT shipments this year. Globally, BI expects the number of smart meters to grow from an installed base of 454 million in 2015 to 930 million by 2020, representing a five-year compound annual growth rate of 15 percent. Many of these devices will be enabled by Skyworks' technology.
