Communication network improves metering, leak detection and disaster recovery

Sensus, a leading provider of clean technology solutions, will showcase products and services to help improve public safety, conserve energy and water and improve utility operations at the 82nd Annual Winter Meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors . The meeting is being held Jan. 22-24 in Washington, D.C.

"Sensus understands the nation's utilities and cities are under pressure from growing demand, increasing energy prices and aging utility infrastructures," said Bobbi Harris, senior manager of strategic marketing at Sensus. "Sensus smart city solutions fit the needs of large and small electric, water and gas utilities, realizing day-one savings and real benefits for their customers."

One major component of the Sensus smart city solution is the open standards-based FlexNet TM two-way communication network, which sends and receives data from various devices including meters, streetlights and other sensors. Through automation control, utilities can reduce operational expenses, conserve resources and lower carbon emissions.
