Why long-term stability and spurious-free performance are crucial Smart meters have evolved beyond simple digital electricity meters. They now serve as communication hubs, collecting and analysing consumption data in real time and transmitting it reliably over many years. To achieve this, not only are long-life batteries essential, but also high-precision frequency components such as quartz

What you always wanted to know about quartz crystals, but didn’t dare ask until now … – Why does a quartz crystal have to be hermetically sealed? At the end of the complex production of a quartz, or rather the small quartz disc, the quartz blank, it has to be mounted in a housing that
