Metering (AMI/AMR)

DataStream's Industrial IoT solutions are supplemented by a set of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Automated Meter Reading (AMR) solutions. DataStream's AMI/AMR solutions represents a culmination of over two decades of field experience, making it a reliable and technically advanced choice for water utilities. Our meter-agnostic endpoints and our high-performance network infrastructure set the stage for efficient remote metering, as well as effective consumption management, seamlessly integrating with any AMR enabled water meter and leveraging cutting-edge RF performance.

Key Benefits

  • Exceptional RF Performance: DataStream's RF AMI system boasts exceptional coverage, ensuring a high daily reception level of 99% for connected units. This is achieved with a remarkably low number of Gateways. The system operates within the 450-470 MHz UHF frequencies, providing exceptional reception coverage.
  • Meter Connectivity: DataStream's AMI/AMR Solution is meter-agnostic, capable of connecting to any water meter with pulse or encoder interfaces. It automatically identifies the various encoder protocols, offering compatibility with a wide range of utility grade meters, including those from Sensus, Badger, Itron, Kamstrup, Neptune, Mueller, Diehl, Master Meter, and others. This versatility ensures seamless integration into diverse water utility environments.
  • Infrastructure: The low-profile Gateways used in our AMI solution are engineered for
    longevity and resilience. Designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions, these base stations utilize cellular or LAN backhaul and provide decades of uninterrupted performance, contributing to the overall reliability and efficiency of the consumption management system.
  • Management Software: Our user-friendly web based DataSense portal is the heart of our
    Consumption Management and Meter Data Management (MDM) capabilities. This software is a result of years of experience working with both small regional waterworks, as well as with large public water utilities. It facilitates seamless integration with existing billing systems and ensures smooth data management, offering utilities a comprehensive solution for effective water consumption monitoring.
  • Mobile App: For residential end-users, we offer Android and iOS apps providing convenient access to consumption data. These apps feature daily, weekly, and monthly consumption charts, allowing users to monitor their water usage patterns. The app also supports easy user configurable threshold notifications, empowering consumers to stay informed about their water consumption in day-to-day scenarios.
  • Experience: DataStream's solution is backed by a rich history of over twenty years of field experience. Deployed in hundreds of sites globally, with millions of meters connected in utility and submetering applications, it stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in water management.
