The document discusses GrDF's smart gas meter project which involves installing Gazpar meters that use contactless NFC technology. The meters can be remotely read via a radio network to obtain consumption data. NFC allows engineers to activate meters and access local readings using a mobile terminal. The project aims to improve operations, safety, security and enable 20-year use of the smart meters.
