Manual meter reading is slow, expensive and error-prone. A Sigfox-based AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) rollout changes the economics entirely.
How it works
Each meter wakes up once a day, sends a 12-byte payload over the Sigfox network, and goes back to sleep. That tiny message is enough to carry the reading, battery status and tamper flags.
Because the radio does so little, a single coin cell lasts up to ten years in a meter pit — no field visits, no recharging.
What changes for the utility
- Billing reconciles overnight instead of monthly.
- Leak and tamper alerts fire within hours, not months.
- Non-revenue water drops as anomalies surface fast.
