Following the relative success of a T3 installation pilot programme conducted in the second half of 2021 by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), in conjunction with several Suppliers and Virgin Media O2, the Proposer notified SECAS on 18 February 2022 of their intention to withdraw this modification. This modification has now been withdrawn.
What is the issue?
The SEC currently states that in the event of the Data Communications Company (DCC) being unable to provide Smart Meter Wide Area Network (SM WAN) coverage to a Supplier Party, a T3 aerial is deployed and installed to improve the coverage so that smart metering functionality is available. The Proposer believes that the T3 aerials have a variety of problems which include additional processing costs, time spent on site in order to install the unit and that there is no guarantee that the T3 aerials will solve the coverage issue.
