It is in 2015 that Czech local authorities began to take an interest in smart meters. At that time, no other solution for remote readings systems are installed on a large scale in the country. However, it did not take long for local authorities to understand the benefits of automated meter readings system in fixed network: daily readings, billing on real consumptions, reduction of interventions, alerting customers by email or SMS in case of leak detection or overconsumption, compliance with their environmental obligations, etc. SUEZ quickly became the ideal partner for setting up a such system. Indeed, with its end-to-end solution
ON'connect™ metering, SUEZ Smart Solutions‘offer covers the complete value chain, providing technical coverage studies, hardware (transmitters and concentrators), technical assistance of local teams for installation, communication network supervision, end-user support, data processing and integration with billing systems.
