Smart Water Meters

Automated meter reading uses wireless or other technology to record how much water is being used by a consumer and then transmit the recorded data to a central point where billing can be carried out. Automated meter reading is also applied to certain meters which contain a short range wireless transmitter that meter-readers can receive and manually record the consumption.

How it Works

The meters are radio controlled from a central location or hub and broadcast their readings via radio in the 868 MHz frequency band. The results are entered into a central computer database and software is used to manipulate the readings so that the user is billed with the correct tariff amount.
