Arqiva Smart Metering Limited is registered at Crawley Court, Winchester, and forms part of the wider Arqiva group. The group provides critical data, network and communications infrastructure across broadcasting, utilities and satellite sectors in the UK and internationally. Within this group, smart metering networks deliver around 50 million data points a day, supporting smarter energy and water grids through managed connectivity, sensors and data analytics. This entity sits within that utilities-focused arm of the business, contributing to the group's role in enabling smart meter data communications rather than supplying energy or water itself. The wider Arqiva group also operates broadcast transmission and satellite data services, though those activities are attributed to the group rather than this specific company.
