Landis+Gyr announced the availability of a two-way water metering solution to utilities through the Gridstream(R) platform. The addition of advanced two-way communications for water metering applications allows utilities to leverage the full potential and scalability of the Gridstream network platform, while avoiding costly infrastructure add-ons. The truly two-way device enables near real-time access to critical water assets for visibility into current meter status -- empowering utilities to address customer concerns and support advanced capabilities such as leak detection, reverse flow and tampering.

By offering Gridstream network coverage across electric, gas and now water endpoints, utilities realize system-wide command and control and single network management. Available options include a 3-wire retrofit solution for existing pit and wall-mount AMR installations, as well as an integrated register and communications module for new AMI installations. All deliver an integrated, proactive and interoperable solution, furthering the Landis+Gyr commitment to next-generation water measurement for the smart grid.
