How It Works

Information Collection

  • Received via RF link from SpeedRead Transmitters, direct range up to 2,000 ft. from most meter pits and up to 1 mile above ground¹
  • Concentrator software verifies data integrity and flags erroneous readings
  • Automatic updates on timed intervals or custom consumption parameters
  • Alerts for leak detection, disconnected transmitters, and malfunctions

Data Storage & Transfer

  • Builds a local database of current meter readings, time- and date-stamped
  • Detailed log files for troubleshooting
  • 24/7 access via inbound dialing, with a direct feed into most billing software through SpeedNet AMR

¹ Actual distances may vary depending on installation location and topography.
