Together, we make a winning team to rise to and deliver the challenge
In October 2008 the UK government issued a mandate that all energy meters should be ‘Smart’ by 2020.
SmartReach has the backing of three of the largest British companies, BT, Arqiva and BAE Systems Detica. Together we bring unparalleled expertise in national telecommunications solutions, secure systems, consumer engagement, data services and running critical national infrastructure.
SmartReach is here to deliver benefits for consumers wherever they live, we want to help protect the environment and to play a big part in the drive for a thriving low carbon economy.
SmartReach can deliver today. But we also have the experience to advise on future developments, and we are excited by the opportunity to play a leading role in a programme upon which secure and affordable energy will depend.
