How many types of meter systems are there?
There are many types of AMR systems currently available. Each system is designed to suit your utilities needs. Larger utilities and municipalities utilize the latest technology such as Radio Read systems or Telephone Read Systems. Until recently both of these systems have been traditionally expensive and not cost effective for the smaller water companies. New reading technologies have made the market competitive and affordable to smaller utilities. Small utilities or water departments also use the electronic remote system. This system once installed enables the meter to be read by remote. The meter has to be replaced and a remote receptacle installed. This system can be upgraded in the future to a radio or phone type system.
