Fully integrated with Itron's MC 3.0 and Mobile Collector 2.5 hardware and Itron's FCS software, the EkaNet™ Mobile Collection System provides electric utilities with an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) drive-by wireless solution that is flexible, scalable, and cost-effective. The EkaNet™ Mobile Collection System provides bidirectional meter access and control capabilities for the most popular C&I brands of electrical meters and helps electrical utilities:
- Increase operational efficiency by reading more meters in less time
- Better customer satisfaction by eliminating intrusive meter reading visits.
- Provide more accurate and up-to-date billing data
- Reset Demands and collect TOU
- Improve employee and customer safety
- Enhance billing data quality by eliminating estimated reads and manual data entry errors
- Identify energy theft and revenue loss due to meter tampering
With the EkaNet™ Mobile System, utilities gain the flexibility and efficiency of remote demand reset tools and are able to retrieve register values without disturbing existing mobile routes. The EkaNet™ Mobile System is a substantial advancement over mobile solutions previously offered for C&I meters, creating opportunities for customers considering a programmed mobile demand reset solution as well as those who rely on probing to reset and obtain billing information.
Benefits You Can Count On
In addition to the productivity gains of integrating walk-by routes, the EkaNet™ Mobile Collection System’s Mobile Demand Reset function enables utilities to avoid the limited access to meter information and logistical problems occasioned by traditional demand reset activities. No longer will meters need to be programmed with a route-specific reset calendar, allowing utilities to complete demand reset activities in more cost-efficient methods.
