Sensus Wins Consecutive Awards for Rural Smart Technology Innovation

Utility executives honor the Sensus AMI solution for the second
straight year

RALEIGH, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#RSGS17–(Click
to Tweet) – For the second year in a row, rural
cooperative utility leaders honored the Sensus
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solution from Sensus,
a Xylem brand, as the “Best Smart Utility Solution” during the Rural
Smart Grid Summit (RSGS).

Powered by the FlexNet®
communication network, the Sensus AMI solution helps utilities and
co-ops build a smarter infrastructure that can support multiple
applications. The solution consists of advanced metering for water,
electricity, gas and lighting applications, all connected by the FlexNet
system.

The network securely transmits and receives data to help utilities and
co-ops make better decisions now and in the future. What often begins as
smart metering can develop into a more robust grid modernization effort
that supports wide-ranging system measurement and control.

“Utilities in rural geographies continue to seek new ways to meet their
customers’ needs, often in areas with sparse populations and diverse
terrain,” said David Stair, senior director of North America energy
sales at Sensus. “Our FlexNet system delivers the connectivity and smart
infrastructure these utilities require no matter where their customers
are, helping them collect, deliver, manage and analyze data to meet both
current and future needs.”

The 2017 RSGS, held at the Saddlebrook Resort & Spa in Tampa, Florida,
brought together 40 participating vendors competing in three award
categories. Awards were voted on by more than 100 utility executives
representing utilities and co-ops across North America.
