This Report is Useful to a Wide Audience of Technical, Managerial and Sale Staff Involved in the SG ICT Development and Implementation
The concept behind smart energy and Smart Grid (SG) is controlling energy consumption internally, within the home, office and similar; and externally from the home to outside connected devices, networks, and the smart grid itself - all with the goal of optimizing energy production, distribution, and usage. Bi-directional communication between home networks and the power grid opens up possibilities for improved reliability and sustainability as well as reducing the energy consumption.
This report presents the in-depth analysis of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) for the Smart Grid.
Both wireless and wireline communications technologies are considered. Designers of SG networks have multiple choices, and the report presents the comparison of various technologies with their benefits and issues.
Besides “traditional” technologies, such as 802.15.4g and 802.22, the report concentrates on newer cellular technologies, such as LTE for low-powered and low- speed UEs. It also analyzes a group of IoT technologies that support SG connectivity (such as SigFox, LoRa, Weightless, and RPMA).
The detailed survey of organizations that are involved in SG ICT development and standardization is also presented together with the survey of the industry. Marketing statistics also have been developed and included in the report.
This report is useful to a wide audience of technical, managerial and sale staff involved in the SG ICT development and implementation.

Methodology
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various Web sites was studied and analyzed; evaluation of publicly available marketing and technical publications was conducted.
Telephone conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.
