    Silicon Labs Enables NextCentury's Wireless Submetering Systems to Optimize Natural Resource Usage

    Imagine a world where leaky toilets send text alerts, water waste shrinks by billions of gallons, and apartment dwellers are satisfied with fair, individual utility bills. This is the reality NextCentury has woven into the fabric of cities by revolutionizing submetering systems with wireless connectivity.

    Although submetering systems have existed for over 100 years in the United States, the installation, configuration, and wiring processes for systems before NextCentury’s technology was introduced were often long and tedious. On average, users were required to spend between a couple of weeks to several months to set up the entire system, preventing widespread adoption.

    Over recent years, new advancements in wireless connectivity, growing consumer interest in sustainability, changing legislation and policies, and steadily increasing utility costs have fueled a rising demand for utility management companies to innovate their smart metering technology with the IoT.

    Next Century 3rd Party Cable Sub Metering Solutions

    Upgrade to NextCentury

    Follow these simple steps to properly connect 3 Party Data Receivers to your new NextCentury Gateway.

    1. Locate Connected Receiver(s)
      Receivers are typically mounted on a wall in the same room as the network equipment.
    2. Disconnect the Power Supply
      Unplug the data collector from power, keeping all devices powered off until the installation is complete.
    3. Remove Old Cable
      The old wires connecting to the receiver are no longer needed and should be completely disconnected and set aside.

    Connect 3 rd Party Cable

    Connect the 3 Party Cable to your Gateway, and attach the other end of the cable to the 4-pin connector on your 3-party receiver. Ensure the text “This Side Up” is viewable when connected. Use the included adhesive tab to secure the connection. For dual receiver systems, repeat this step on the second receiver.

    Power-On the Gateway

    Power is now supplied to the 3 party receiver from the Gateway. You may now proceed to program the property.
