Smart Metering for Infrastructure - Smarter Technologies

Infrastructure and utility managers face mounting challenges in accurately tracking utility usage, managing costs, and supporting sustainability efforts. Manual meter readings are time-consuming, error-prone, and often lead to billing inaccuracies or disputes. Existing smart metering systems may require costly retrofits, unreliable SIM-based connections, or complex infrastructure upgrades.

Smarter Technologies eliminates these barriers with a wireless, SIM-free Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) that seamlessly retrofits existing meters or integrates with new smart meters. Enabled by Orion™, this real-time system ensures accurate utility data collection, streamlines sub-metering, and empowers better operational and financial decisions—without disruption or expensive infrastructure changes.

Smarter Technologies delivers a fully integrated Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solution built on Orion, The Real-Time Data Network™—a military-grade, low-power, long-range IoT network. This wireless, secure network connects battery-powered automated meter readers (AMRs) directly to a centralized management dashboard, offering real-time visibility into utility usage across electricity, gas, and water systems.

The solution allows organizations to easily retrofit existing utility meters—no need for a plumber, electrician, or new meter installation. For new builds or large rollouts, Smarter Technologies also supplies compatible smart meters pre-equipped for instant AMI integration.

Once connected, the meters transmit consumption data to a centralized, cloud-based dashboard. Facility managers, landlords, and utility providers can monitor usage in real time, identify waste, forecast future needs, and eliminate the guesswork of estimated bills. With seamless sub-metering capabilities, usage can be tracked down to individual tenants, rooms, or equipment—delivering fair, accurate billing for shared properties like apartment buildings or commercial spaces.

With Orion’s ultra-reliable infrastructure and customizable data sets, the platform supports real-time insights, predictive analytics, and robust reporting—fueling smarter decisions, improved sustainability, and reduced operational overhead.
