This includes advanced metering solutions to reduce field service and support costs and obtaining information to support billing, dynamic rate structures, demand response programs, customer service, marketing, operations and engineering. With Silver Spring Networks’ UtilityIQ® and network enabled meters, two-way real-time networking becomes cost-effective for mass deployment for electric, gas and water utilities.
Easily implement customer access to usage, price and alert information and create customer groups that can be bound to dynamic service programs. Utilities can read all of their electric, gas and water meters to gather interval and consumption data on a preset schedule or on demand, including notification alarms when a preset consumption level is reached, high or low flows are detected at end-points or possible theft is in progress.
