Simple. Reliable. Flexible.
Whether your water utility serves a few thousand, or a million homes, FlexNet provides a simple, reliable and flexible infrastructure for managing your system at peak performance. Simple, because our small, high power transmitters (SmartPoints) collect, encrypt and send hourly meter information back to your operations center—and to your customers—without deploying field personnel. Reliable, because FlexNet utilizes primary-use, FCC-licensed radio frequencies to transfer volumes of data on a virtual private highway from your customer’s home to your office. And flexible, because FlexNet’s robust single-tier infrastructure won’t limit your utility from meeting market or regulatory requirements brought about by new, emerging technologies.
Discover the power of single-tier design
Utilizing a primary-use frequency, our powerful SmartPoints are able to transmit meter information from the customer to you at an unprecedented two watts of power. Not only does that provide speed and clarity, it means you can do more with less. Less parts and pieces to install and maintain. Less cost for upkeep and fees. Fewer vehicles on the road. With FlexNet, less really is more. More meter information, more often with more reliability.
Monitor your plant
Optimizing system integrity with our SmartPoint’s multi-port design is easy. SmartPoints interface with acoustic monitoring devices to identify hidden leaks before they become costly large-scale projects.
Educate and motivate your customers
Promoting responsible water usage has been an uphill challenge, with utilities relying on bill stuffers or other public service announcements to educate customers. Not anymore. Smart utilities are using FlexNet’s data capabilities to inform and interact with consumers and promote good conservation practices. With FlexNet’s powerful communications infrastructure, your customers have the ability to receive announcements, plan usage and see the benefits of conservation in real time...and real dollars. Best of all, your customers can use the same, user-friendly devices they’re familiar with, such as Web portals, cell phones or even in-home displays.
