Next century submetering
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.
