Vi Business has announced a collaboration with Trilliant. The collaboration will allow Vi Business and Trilliant to harness shared domain expertise to develop and deliver integrated IoT solutions for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) projects in India.

The collaboration also aims to improve the government’s Digital India agenda and modernize the country’s power distribution industry by converting the planned 250 million electricity meters across the country to Smart Meters.

The collaboration of both companies results in a combined offering of connectivity, cloud, and HES with managed services to assist Master System Integrators (MSI)/Advanced Metering Infrastructure Service Providers (AMISPs) in India in delivering and maintaining important SLAs for AMI projects. Vi Business will benefit from Trilliant’s global experience with Unity Suite Head End System (HES) that complies with IS 15959, providing both daily meter reads and interval data. The collaboration provides Discoms with total network visibility, operational transparency, and SLA management for complicated AMI initiatives.
