The partnership supports seamless STS token integration with DLMS/COSEM protocols, coordinated roadmap development, and expansion across electricity, water, gas, and time metering applications.
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, March 3, 2026 / — VUKA Group (https://WeAreVUKA.com) has announced a strategic partnership between the Standard Transfer Specification Association (STSA) and the DLMS User Association (DLMS UA) to advance secure, interoperable, and future-ready smart metering systems.
The collaboration bridges legacy prepaid electricity meters with modern smart metering by aligning STS token technology with the widely adopted DLMS/COSEM data model. This approach enables utilities to modernize infrastructure while protecting existing investments, ensuring secure data exchange and strengthening smart prepayment integration.
The partnership supports seamless STS token integration with DLMS/COSEM protocols, coordinated roadmap development, and expansion across electricity, water, gas, and time metering applications. With STS recently reaffirmed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and upgraded with enhanced encryption, the collaboration provides a trusted and sustainable pathway for interoperable smart metering worldwide.
