For water, gas, or electricity,
a meter is installed in each rental unit
connected to the SpeedRead transmitter.

The Transmitter reads the meter
and converts the
measurement into a digital signal transmission.

Repeaters are placed at tactical locations
to extend the
signal range. Because the Automated Meter reading system
uses a low RF frequency for data transmission, fewer repeaters
are required than that of competing solutions.

A central Data Collectorr collects
the data from the individual
transmitters, decodes the transmission, and stores
the meter reads
for billing.

Control software can be used
by property managers and the re-bill and
collect company. It records consumption data, generates customized
reports, monitors for exceptions, and performs system maintenance.
SpeedRead offers three versions of meter data management
software
to better suit your individual needs.

Typically, property owners contract
to a re-bill and collect (RBC)
company for billing individual tenant according to
actual consumption.
The RBC company presents the bill, collects, and tenders
payment to
the property owner.
