smartmeter dcc communications hub 4g availability

ezzer_octopus

Hi All,

The old style 2g/3g smartmeter comms via Telefónica doesn't work in my area, and this is with an external T3 aerial. Does anyone have any news on when the new 4G vodafone comms hub will start to be avaliable on mass. 

Thanks

Simon

The go-live of the 4G service is slated for December 2024, when energy suppliers should be able to start testing and verification with a small number, up to about 9,000 hubs.

The mass rollout is then projected to start in July 2025, with suppliers able to determine their individual paces for their 4G transition.
