Security initiatives regarding Smart Metering Sample Clauses

Security initiatives regarding Smart Metering. In general terms, there are many countries with AMI systems under development and/or deployment. There are also many variants in the topology and specifications of the system, although most solutions are based on the existence of a kind of Head End System (HES), which is in charge of managing all the metering information retrieved from smart meters, as well as personal, billing and security information. This element is also the source of any kind of commands to be delivered to meters, e.g. connection/disconnection of the subscriber to/from the network, change of settings, other commands and firmware upgrades. This HES is linked with meters through one or more intermediate devices, which provide connectivity and eventual adaptation of communication protocols to the metering protocols which implement final communication with the meters. These intermediate devices can be the boundary of segments with different physical transmission media, and therefore different protocol specifications. Examples of countries that already have ongoing AMI initiatives are UK (with plans to end deployment by 2020), France (with end of deployment expected by 2020, with about 35 million devices), Portugal, Spain (with expected end of deployment in 2019), The Netherlands, Germany, Italy (with the world’s major smart meter deployment, about 30 million devices), Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the British Columbia and Ontario in Canada, several states of the US like California, Texas, Florida, Maryland, the State of Victoria in Australia, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Japan. Cybersecurity is a common concern for all these deployments, which is usually implemented at application level (for both the smart meter and HES communication segments, taking advantage of currently operative communication technologies and protocols).
