Amanzi Meters (Pty)Ltd.

Meters Smart Systems

The Amanzi Meters Smart System (AMSS) is an integrated system of smart meters, communication networks and data management systems, enabling two-way communication between utilities and customers. It uses bi-directional, ultra-low-power radio networks, integrated with GPRS and/or satellite to allow the reading of meters as well as to control of the iMvubu valve (open/close/restrict) from a remote office.

Amanzi’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is well suited for gated communities and complexes wanting to control their water, as well as for utilities wanting an advanced system that allows remote control, including open/close and restriction. Satellite communication is available in collaboration with a supplier who has been providing solutions to the Department of Water Affairs and SANDF for the past 12 years.

AMSS operates in the ISM 868MHz licence-free bandwidth and does not pose any health hazards due to electromagnetic emissions. AMSS is a true AMI system with advanced functionality not requiring electricity connections. A long-life battery can be replaced in the field to ensure an extended life span of the equipment. The system can effectively be used for credit control, meter reading and billing, service suspension and reconnection as well as leak detection.
