Smarter Metering, Better Management
Deploy smart meters for electricity, water, and gas. Monitor distribution networks in real-time. Detect losses and optimize operations.
Where it’s deployed
The Future of Utility Management
Traditional meters require manual reading. Losses go undetected. Outages surprise everyone. Smart utilities change that. Get real-time consumption data from every meter. Detect leaks and theft instantly. Monitor distribution networks continuously. Bill accurately and reduce operational costs.
Smart Electricity Metering
Accurate, Real-Time Billing
Deploy smart meters across service areas. Get real-time consumption data. Enable time-of-use pricing. Detect theft and tampering instantly.

How it works
From a sensor in the field to the screen your utility team uses.
One accountable team for the sensors, the LoRaWAN network and the software — integrated with the systems you already run.
01 · Sense
Sensors in the field
Battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors on rivers, buildings, tanks and streets — chosen for each reading.
02 · Connect
LoRaWAN and cellular
LoRaWAN gateways for battery sensors and wide sites, IoT SIMs for devices that move or send more data — chosen per device.
03 · Process
EdgeKinect Core
Runs on the site gateway: every reading decoded, normalized and routed to the systems that need it.
04 · Act
Your dashboards & systems
Dashboards, rules and alerts in EdgeKinect Vision — our cloud or self-hosted — and the same data in SCADA, historians or the cloud.
The challenge
What holds utilities back.
- 01
How do smart meters reduce costs?
Eliminate manual meter reading. Detect theft and tampering instantly. Enable accurate billing. Reduce non-technical losses by up to 25%.
- 02
Can we detect water leaks in the network?
Yes. Smart water meters with pressure sensors detect leaks in real-time. Compare zone inflows and outflows to pinpoint loss locations.
- 03
How does solar monitoring help?
Track production vs expected output. Identify failing panels or inverters early. Optimize cleaning schedules. Maximize ROI on solar investment.
- 04
What about existing infrastructure?
Smart meters retrofit onto existing connections. No pipe or wire changes needed. Deploy gradually across service areas.
- 05
How reliable is data transmission?
LoRaWAN provides reliable long-range communication. Store-and-forward ensures no data loss. Multiple gateways add redundancy.
- 06
Can customers see their usage?
Yes. Customer portals show real-time and historical usage. Enable conservation awareness. Support time-of-use rate programs.
The outcome
What changes once it’s running.
- 01
Eliminate Manual Reading
Remote meter reading saves labor costs. Get data from every meter automatically. No more estimated bills.
- 02
Reduce Losses
Detect theft, leaks, and tampering instantly. Reduce non-revenue water and electricity significantly.
- 03
Accurate Billing
Bill based on actual consumption. Enable time-of-use rates. Reduce billing disputes.
- 04
Grid Reliability
Monitor distribution network health. Detect faults before outages. Balance loads automatically.
- 05
Customer Engagement
Give customers visibility into usage. Enable conservation programs. Improve satisfaction.

FAQ
Questions about smart utilities & energy, answered.
What buyers ask us most about sensors, coverage and integration.
Meters often sit in basements, pits and chambers. LoRaWAN reaches them with low power, so battery-powered meter interfaces last for years and a few gateways cover a service area. Where coverage is strong, NB-IoT or LTE-M meters on our IoT SIMs are an option too — we choose per site.
