Basingstoke -- Sensus International will continue to play a key role in delivering smart metering communications across the North of England and Scotland, following the extension of Arqiva's smart metering services agreement through to 2037.

Since 2013, Sensus International's FlexNet® communication technology and bespoke Regional Network Interface (RNI)(TM) head-end system have been central to Arqiva's smart metering communications network, enabling secure, reliable connectivity to millions of homes and businesses across the region.

As part of this next phase, Sensus International will develop and manufacture a new radio base station to modernise the network and support its long-term evolution. The RNI head-end system will also be refreshed, ensuring the solution's continued performance, security and resilience as the industry transitions towards national 4G/5G communications.

Rob Gibson, General Manager UK at Sensus International, said:

"This contract extension reflects the strength of our long-standing collaboration with Arqiva, and the expertise of our collective teams. We are proud to continue supporting this important smart metering programme, while committing to provide further innovation of the network in the future."

The agreement reinforces the trust placed in Sensus International's proven ability to develop and deliver reliable, scalable and innovative technology for mission-critical utility infrastructure, while demonstrating its ongoing commitment to supporting customers, partners and ensuring the evolution of Great Britain's smart metering ecosystem over the years ahead.
