Santa Fe cellular-enabled smart water meter project is first of its kind, IHS says

The city of Santa Fe recently chose Badger Meter's BEACON smart water meter solution, for full installation across all their water meter endpoints, including both residential and commercial customers. The foundation for the project is a cellular-enabled smart meter, which can be installed and immediately used for the utility's smart water network applications. The contract calls for approximately 35,000 smart meters to be installed, making it the single largest implementation of cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) technology in the water utility segment worldwide, according to IHS, adding that by 2020 approximately 600,000 cellular-enabled smart water meters will be shipped to the North American market annually.
