Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE:BMI) today announced that it will
provide a full suite of smart water technologies and services to
the City of Columbia, South Carolina to assist the city’s vision to
lead the way in innovative and high quality municipal services. The
fully integrated solution will improve the city’s efficiency and
reduce water loss by providing real-time access to detailed water
usage data, enhancing customer service and empowering their nearly
150,000 customers to better manage their water usage.
The city selected Badger Meter’s BEACON® Advanced Metering
Analytics (AMA) Software-as-a-Service offering that collects and
analyzes data within the water distribution network to improve
operational efficiency and awareness. When matched with our ORION®
Cellular endpoints and industry-leading Recordall® water meters,
the city will have an intuitive, cloud-based software suite that
allows greater visibility and control and provides a powerful
end-to-end solution. It will also take advantage of the extended
longevity and support of infrastructure-free cellular networks,
which are driving cellular as the AMI system of choice for water
utilities. The ORION® Cellular endpoints selected by the city will
utilize the newest LTE-M network. The LTE-M network is dedicated to
machine-to-machine (M2M) devices deployed as part of a smart water
solution and is fully compatible with current LTE and 5G network
technology.
The first installations are expected to begin in Columbia this
spring, with a three-year anticipated project timeline for full
roll-out.
“We are pleased to provide this comprehensive smart water
solution to the City of Columbia,” said Kimberly Stoll, Vice
President - Sales and Marketing at Badger Meter. “Mayor Benjamin,
who leads the U.S. Conference of Mayors, has been innovative in his
approach to smart water for his growing city. We were able to
demonstrate how leveraging the power of infrastructure-free data
utilizing the ORION® LTE-M cellular solution would meet their high
expectations for an efficient, effective and responsive
solution.”
Columbia’s Mayor, Steve Benjamin, stated, “We’re excited as a
city to not only improve the quality of service we provide to our
residents but also to improve the efficiency and accuracy with
which we deliver those services. Columbia is one of many cities
across our nation implementing smart city measures that allow us to
become the city we desire to be.”
