Hybrid

Suppose you want to supplement the Neptune mobile RF technology you already have with easy-to-implement fixed network data collectors.  Hybrid meter reading can allow you to (1) read spread-out, rural segments as well as concentrated urban areas, (2) or add simple daily or monthly consumption profiles without requiring large-scale technology changeouts that you can’t justify. The answer: ARB® Hybrid™ that pairs Neptune R900® mobile technology with R900® Gateway Data Collectors that leverage existing infrastructure.

For mobile + plus fixed network, Neptune offers ARB Hybrid, the hybrid metering meter reading system that allows utilities to build on the same field-proven R900 radio frequency technology while minimizing stranded assets. Use the MRX920™ Mobile Data Collector to collect data from spread-out rural routes while capturing consumption data from concentrated, high-traffic areas using the R900 Gateway Data Collector. Should you eventually decide to implement full-fixed network, you’ll only need more Gateways, with the ability to fill in with mobile or handheld should you ever need. Hybrid meter reading was never so easy.
  • Mix and match elements of Mobile and FixedBase AMR and AMI to meet
    your needs
  • Accurate daily meter reading
  • Improved meter reading safety and less turnover
  • 15-Minute Interval Flags for leak, tamper, and reverse flow detection
  • Conservation Program Support – hourly, daily, and / or monthly consumption data available to end users
  • Address High Water Bill Complaints with historical consumption graphs
    (daily or monthly)
  • Final Daily Reads for move-ins / move-outs that eliminate truck rolls for
    off-cycle reads
  • Migrate from mobile to full-scale fixed network without stranding assets
