The purchase order is expected to cover HM Power’s initial requirements for Panmesh software licenses and will be invoiced as the licences are delivered to HM Power’s utility customers, as part of the rollout to replace existing smart meters in Sweden.
Sweden was the first country to install smart meters for its customers in 2009(1), with the full-scale installation of Automated Meter Reading/Advanced Metering Infrastructure systems reaching 5.2 million Swedish consumers(2).
John Cronin, CyanConnode Executive Chairman, commented: “This order further demonstrates the suitability of our Panmesh technology to deliver future-proofed customer value. Ease of implementation and deployment of CyanConnode’s narrowband mesh technology allows customers to build the network as they deploy the solution, supporting cash flow, up-time and end-to-end security. The sale of Panmesh software licences include an ongoing recurring revenue stream from annual maintenance charges over a 10-year contract term.
Anders Hjort, CEO HM Power, commented: “The market is now implementing next-generation technologies to support both IoT sensor applications that enable smart grid solutions and advanced metering infrastructure solutions. Since 2000, HM Power has been a leading supplier of smart metering (AMI) solutions in Sweden. With a large customer base, HM Power is now well positioned to provide next generation smart meters and smart grid equipment. CyanConnode’s IPv6 Panmesh technology delivers flexible, cost-effective communications for single and multi-application networks.”
The Swedish-based system integrator, HM Power, provides smart metering and smart grid solutions to virtually all Swedish utilities. HM Power has an established customer base of approximately 650,000 smart meters and 30% of the Ring Main Unit and advanced fault indication equipment market in Sweden.

About HM Power
The business idea is to understand the problems and needs of the electric power distributors and to find attractive solutions for them. Successful implementation of solutions has been in areas such as data collection, sensors, switchgear and automation. HM Power cooperates through partners to accomplish more, do it faster and more cost effectively.
The company managed to get a substantial part of the Swedish market when legislation made all electric utilities invest in Automatic Meter Reading ten years ago. A special remote operable load switch was developed to meet the requirements of disconnection of clients. Today the efforts are concentrated to meet new requirements and opportunities.
For improvement of medium voltage cable network a “self-healing” system has been developed including a new type of medium voltage switchgear as well as advanced fault indicators. Now also overhead lines are being covered by our new solutions. Progress is made in the Nordic countries and on China market.
HM Power also combines internal skills of power distribution, communication, metering with experience of system business and implementation to provide equipment’s and systems infrastructure for charging Electric Vehicles.
