Smart meters: Going beyond smart for expected eco benefits
Smart meters are power meters equipped with communication functionality. This advance allows for
remote meter reading of electricity usage without the need for an onsite inspector. It also permits
data on electronic device power consumption and usage patterns to be sent to electric utilities,
making it possible to optimize electricity generation timing. The expected end result is more efficient
power generation and transmission. By informing households of their power consumption, utility
charges and other data in real time, the smart meters that electric power companies install should
offer eco benefits by, for example, helping to curb consumer-side electricity consumption.
Mobile base stations ready for LTE,
the next-generation mobile communications standard
Fujitsu is providing mobile base stations that offer high performance, low
power consumption, and compatibility with Long Term Evolution (LTE), the
anticipated global standard set for adoption in markets worldwide. With
the emergence of smartphones expected to gain momentum, LTE will
allow fast, large-volume data communications through mobile terminals.
In the future, users can expect to see diverse services that take advantage
of these features.
The agricultural cloud: Leveraging the
experience and expertise passed down to today
The use of sensors to manage and monitor weather and soil
conditions will allow fertilizers and agrochemicals to be applied
with optimal timing, leading to vast improvements in productiv-
ity. Agriculture draws from many years of accumulated experience
and expertise. Now, by bringing ICT to bear, younger generations
can take a far more active part in this enterprise, allowing that
valuable knowledge to be put to broader and more effective use.
