SITUATION
A major utility in the Middle East, in charge of managing approximately two million smart meters,
wanted to improve the visibility of all its meters and assets to deliver better quality services to its
customers. The utility faced challenges in capturing data from some meters and other fixed assets,
especially when they were outside the cellular network range, due to the:
- expensive and unreliable cellular connectivity
- local area network limited distance and the need
for ongoing power supply - often inaccurate manual readings, time-consuming
and costly truck rolls and site visits.
RESULTS
By gaining 100% visibility on all meters and assets, the utility can now enable a predictive and preventive strategy to monitor its networks for leak, level and pressure sensors, water levels and pressure sensors, transmission lines, substations, and solar power stations.
