Network as a Service (NaaS)
Partner with Us for End-to-End, Secure Network Coverage
Some utilities feel that AMI is out of reach. With NaaS, Sensus delivers a fully managed AMI solution with guaranteed performance, top security controls, and without the capital investment.
With NaaS, our experts monitor, manage, and maintain the FlexNet® communication network, ensuring that you have full coverage in your service territory and that the network is always operating at peak performance. All network base stations, firmware, RF spectrum and system health are managed and maintained around the clock by our Network Operations Center (NOC) engineers.
You’ll avoid the capital investment typically required while receiving the benefits of a full two-way, primary-use spectrum for a low annual fee. Whether your initiatives include implementing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Distribution Automation (DA) or smart lighting controls, with NaaS you can prepare for the future today.
