Coronis Systems of France, a specialist in wireless network solutions, has been chosen by HowDeep Tech Co. Ltd, a leading provider of metering solutions in China, to provide wireless solutions for gas metering. The initial phase of the contract involves equipping 50,000 residents in Yichang, in the Hubei province of China, with a wireless automatic meter-reading (AMR) system. This is the first large-scale industrial contract in China for Coronis.
HowDeep is a leading provider of AMR solutions for individual, commercial and industrial uses in China. Under the terms of the agreement, Coronis will provide its patented ultra-low-power and long-range wireless Wavenis® technology to enable the remote monitoring of gas meters. The overall solution includes the Wavenis®-enabled network infrastructure, wireless meter monitors, as well as software and customisable wireless modules. Coronis Systems’ Wavenis® technology satisfied all of HowDeep’s requirements for system integration in terms of its field-proven industrial maturity, modularity, pricing, near real-time accuracy, and flexibility to adapt to the requirements of the Chinese market.
This partnership underlines HowDeep’s commitment to enhancing its portfolio of DT-Readers® (automatic meter-reading solutions) with technological innovations. By choosing Wavenis®-based AMR products, HowDeep can improve the precision and efficiency of its systems while greatly enhancing service to customers. In addition to providing network technology that specifically addresses the battery-life and range constraints found in metering installations, Coronis’ solution will help HowDeep offer its customers added-value benefits such as leak detection, data logging and valve control, as well as other features to meet evolving requirements.
