Netsize wireless service management platform provides solutions for implementing and managing wireless metering services for gas, water and energy companies in the utilities market.
Utility companies equip water, gas and electricity meters with telemetry units that transmit meter readings to a central application for automatic processing. Other applications may be based on drive-by systems that collect meter readings wirelessly, or use static concentrators to collect readings from several devices nearby and then transmit these over a longer distance using a wide area wireless network, cutting overall costs even further. Typically SMS and GPRS are used for the long haul, and a mix of proprietary and standardized technologies including ZigBee, rfid, etc. are used for communication over short distances.
The Netsize Smart Access Platform is the platform choice being used by utility companies and application providers.
