Behind the meter intelligence

Connectivity between smart meters, devices and cloud services, even in the most challenging properties

geo extends the Home Area Network (HAN) and provides alternative Wide Area Network (WAN) so energy retailers can connect more meters, access more data, and deliver more accurate billing and customer insights. This directly addresses “dark meter” and “no‑WAN” issues that limit smart meter effectiveness and value realisation

Virtual WAN

Connectivity expertise built on more than a decade of smart metering experience, and learning from over 11 million devices deployed in the field. Every geo smart device is:

  • SMETS1 and SMETS2 compatible
  • Designed to solve real‑world deployment challenges, and extensively tested with suppliers, meter manufacturers and the DCC

Standards‑based approach enables energy retailers to connect more homes, reduce failed installs, and maintain reliable data flows at scale


How does geo solve dark meter and no WAN challenges?


HAN‑E (HAN Extender)

HAN-E solves in‑home communication challenges by extending Zigbee coverage in large homes, thick‑walled properties and multi‑dwelling buildings where gas meters or IHDs are often out of range. Zigbee mesh technology ensures stable, secure connections within the property


Virtual WAN (VWAN)

Virtual WAN enables smart meter connectivity in homes that wouldn’t otherwise be accessible. It uses the home broadband connection when mobile coverage is either unavailable or unreliable, for example in rural locations and high-rise buildings

Millions of homes could potentially benefit and May 2026 saw the first VWAN installations

geo has been central to VWAN deployment with its  groundbreaking SeeZero device and is supporting retail partners


HAN‑E and VWAN ensure meters remain connected both inside the home and back to the DCC, even in the hardest‑to‑reach locations

How can Matter help connectivity?

  • Matter is an open smart home standard designed to enable secure, interoperable communication between smart devices
  • geo’s SeeZero platform is Matter‑ready for future integration with devices like EV chargers, heat pump controllers and sensors over Thread or Wi‑Fi
  • Matter ensures geo’s platform is future‑proof, reducing integration friction and enabling broader smart home and flexibility services over time
