Mass Deployment of LTE-based Water AMI Delivers Immediate and Recurring Operating Benefits
Mary Massad, Manager/CEO for Southwest Water Authority (SWA) commented, “We were immediately attracted to Smart Earth Technologies’ modern, cellular, standards-based approach. The SET solution provides us with rapid operational benefits and customer satisfaction improvements. We have already deployed almost half of our service territory and look forward to installing the rest. SET has delivered on their promises to reduce our AMI capital outlay, and deliver exciting recurring operating savings. Our team views the SET software as industry-leading and easy to use. We widely recommend SET to our industry peers. Quality water for southwest North Dakota is what we do and SET truly assists SWA to that end.”
