Our portfolio brings together technologies in metering, payment authentication, intelligent energy control, contactless transaction systems, and low-power wireless communications.
Across five integrated technology domains
Secure utility meter plus user interface and transaction authorization structure, tied to a unique location identifier. The system validates and records usage data, enforces access rules, and supports secure interactions between meter, user, and back-end systems. The family also covers related UK filings for energy supply systems and prepayment metering.
Why it matters: Ensures data integrity, access control, and accountable metering at the point of use.
Authenticates the origin of data communications in card-not-present transactions using location nodes and identifiers. It verifies device, user, and context to establish trust before authorizing payment.
Why it matters: Reduces fraud by verifying where and how a transaction originates.
Links consumption readings, pricing data, and supplier or tariff switching actions. The system enables dynamic control and settlement of energy supply based on real-time information and predefined rules.
Why it matters: Supports efficient energy use, flexible tariffing, and seamless supplier management.
Combines payment data with supplementary machine-readable data such as RFID to strengthen the payment record. The method binds identity, device, and context to reduce fraud and enhance reconciliation.
Why it matters: Creates stronger, verifiable payment records with lower fraud exposure.
Low-power wireless mesh networking protocols that let meters, sensors, and smart-home devices communicate reliably over IPv6, even across constrained, battery-powered nodes.
Why it matters: Enables scalable, interoperable connectivity across large deployments of connected devices.
These technology families address four critical application themes across modern economies.
Secure metering and control for reliable, transparent utility operations.
Trusted authentication and payment methods reduce fraud and build confidence.
Interoperable systems connect devices, users, and enterprise platforms.
Data-driven control and dynamic pricing enable smarter energy outcomes.
