Silver Spring Announces Its Enhanced Smart Water Solution, which Now Supports Improved Water Metering for Multi-Service Municipal Utilities
Silver Spring Networks, Inc.announced its enhanced smart water solution, which now supports improvedwater metering for multi-service municipal utilities. As part of the updatedwater metering system, the company will be integrating its standards-based IPv6 network with multiple modules from Master Meter Inc. to deliver its two-way advanced water solutions for municipal and co-op utilities.
"Traditionally, water utility customers have had limited options to manage their usage, as they would retrospectively receive their bill at the end of the month, quarter, or year. With our next-generation, two-way water solution, we are going beyond simple meter reading by providing a more granular and interactive experience that includes on demand reads, interval data collection and asynchronous alarming,,"saidJosh Roper, Vice President of Advanced Metering Infrastructure, Silver Spring Networks. "In the same way that utilities are starting to leverage a single, multi-application network for advanced metering infrastructure and street lights, they now also have the option to offer their customers near real-time understanding of their water usage."
