Smart Metering Solutions
We offer smart metering solutions to measure and monitor heat/cooling, or water consumption for utilities or submetering companies. Smart metering system or “advanced metering infrastructure” (AMI) consist of 3 main parts: smart meter, communication network, and IoT cloud data management platform.
Advanced metering systems enables utility and submetering companies to monitor consumption patterns in real-time and remotely, eliminating the need for manual readings. Almost real-time information enables consumers and utility companies to accurately track consumption patterns while lowering costs.
Who are Smart Water Metering Solutions for?
Our smart water metering solutions are an effective choice for utility providers, property developers and managers, and housing associations. They address common challenges such as inefficient, labor-intensive manual readings, undetected leaks, recurring maintenance needs, and tenant billing disputes.
Mainlink’s robust and reliable solution delivers accurate, near real-time water usage data. Data is collected automatically and remotely, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing the risk of human error—while also saving time and operational costs. Precise data ensures billing is fair and transparent for residents.
Utility providers and building managers benefit from a future-proof system that is long-lasting, highly accurate, and compliant with the most stringent regulatory standards. With no moving parts and zero maintenance requirements, the system provides peace of mind for all stakeholders.

Key features of Smart Metering
- Remote Data Monitoring: Smart meters enable utility companies to monitor consumption patterns remotely, eliminating the need for manual meter readings.
- Almost Real-Time Data: These systems provide almost real-time information on energy or water usage, allowing consumers and utility companies to accurately track consumption patterns.
- Two-way Communication: Smart meters can communicate data to the utility provider and receive commands.
- Network Monitoring: This involves the ability to view all incoming raw data telegrams, analysing network stability based on signal health parameters, ensuring well-planned network coverage, and maintaining a constant flow of data telegrams from devices.
- Improved Efficiency: By providing accurate and timely information, smart metering systems help identify areas of abnormal resource consumption, leaks, bursts, and backflow. This allows for more efficient resource use and reduced waste, as well as the detection of faulty installations.
How Smart Water Metering Supports Sustainability
Smart water metering solutions support sustainability by promoting efficient water consumption through accurate usage data, early detection of leaks and system inefficiencies, and increased end-user awareness. These features directly enhance the sustainability of water systems by:
- Reducing overall consumption: Accurate usage tracking enables more precise billing, often leading to reduced water use and less waste.
- Minimizing waste: Leaks and other sources of non-revenue water can be detected and addressed early, preventing unnecessary water loss.
- Improving water management: Data-driven insights support more strategic decisions around water usage and system optimization.
- Lowering energy use: Reducing the need to treat, transport, and process excess water also cuts energy consumption and lowers carbon emissions.
Frequently asked questions
Our system is a fully featured system capable of monitoring water, heating, cooling utilities as part of a robust smart infrastructure solution.
Traditional metering depends on manual data collection and typically involves mechanical meters that require regular maintenance and replacements. In contrast, smart meters automate data collection and analysis, enabling remote access, advanced leak detection, and automated billing. They also provide actionable insights that help reduce operating costs and scale efficiently across large properties.
Yes. Mainlink’s comprehensive smart metering solution is ideal for water submetering. Our system includes long-lasting ultrasonic meters, gateways, a data management platform, and mobile apps. It is scalable and well-suited for various use cases, including single-family homes, multi-family properties, mobile home parks, student housing, and more.
Smart metering provides detailed, data-driven insights that support more strategic consumption decisions often resulting in lower water bills.
