[Chinese instrument network enterprise wind vane] Recently, Sweden Ericsson announced that it had completed the acquisition of Ambient Corporation of Illinois. The company was established in 1996 and is headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts. It is an industry leader in smart grid communications technology and has won international awards.

Ancom's innovative smart grid platform can help power utilities better configure and integrate diverse smart grid applications and technologies through independent communications facilities. This acquisition helped Ericsson to maximize its return on investment in the smart grid sector. The company also provides product and software maintenance and installation services, as well as a series of consulting services on smart grid product development, network management, smart grid construction and deployment.

It is reported that Anbian will be integrated into Ericsson’s global service department. This department employs 64,000 professional service talents from 180 countries and uses more than 100 languages. Among them, 16,000 employees are consultants and system service experts. Each year, 1,500 projects are delivered in multi-vendor and multi-technology environments.

According to statistics, Sweden Ericsson was founded in 1876. From the early production of telephones, program-controlled switches to today's world's largest mobile communications equipment business, Ericsson's business in more than 180 countries and regions, is the world's leading provider of comprehensive end-to-end communications solutions and professional services. Ericsson's global businesses include: communications network systems, professional telecommunications services, patent licensing, enterprise systems, operations support systems (OSS) and business support systems (BSS).

Smart grid related projects have been the highlights and investment hotspots of the energy industry in recent years. With the implementation of UHV and strong smart grids, for grid companies, how to effectively implement smart grids is becoming the key to the safe and efficient operation of the grid, and communications It is a bridge to achieve "smart". Therefore, Ericsson has always valued smart grid related business. At the end of last year, Li Kai, chief consultant of the electric power industry of Ericsson (China), analyzed the requirements of smart grid communications in the article “Communication Maturity of Smart Grids”, expounded the main characteristics of smart grid communication maturity model, and communicated to smart grids. Maturity evaluation and analysis were studied and discussed.

In August of this year, Landis Gyr joined hands with Ericsson to provide intelligent meter reading and on-site operation and maintenance services for Finnish public utilities customers, becoming a breakthrough agreement for Ericsson's entry into Finland's energy industry. It is understood that the popularity of smart meters provided by Langeil in Finland is quite high. About one out of every three Finnish households uses a Langeer smart meter. The above agreement stipulates that since October 1, 2014, Ericsson will provide smart meter reading services for more than 700,000 smart meters in Finland.

The development of smart meter solutions and smart grids is a priority area for development in many countries, including several EU countries and the United States. Ultimately, this development will lead to smart energy networks that can manage large amounts of data, create opportunities for efficient grid and consumer management, and promote the seamless integration of local production of renewable energy with the power grid.

As a global communications leader, Ericsson is in an extremely advantageous position in its cooperation with related power companies. The acquisition of Anbian can help its transformation from a distribution network to a smart grid in the industry.
