Case study
Meternet applies our solution for multifamily sector
Meternet deployed a turnkey Mainlink and Axioma Metering smart submetering solution built around advanced ultrasonic meters across 202 units in California. Four indoor LoRa® gateways were installed throughout the apartment complex. Real‑time data flows into the Mainhive data management platform, while residents can track their personal usage through our residential mobile app and receive instant leak alerts.
How Submetering Solutions works?
Frequently asked questions
Smart submetering systems create value for utilities, property owners, and residents. Owners gain precise usage data, reduced operating costs, and easier regulatory compliance. Tenants benefit from fair, transparent billing and access to their own consumption data via a user-friendly mobile app.
A smart submetering system uses individual unit meters as part of an integrated solution that tracks both building-level and resident-level water usage. Mainlink’s platform uses ultrasonic meters, secure wireless communication, and analytics tools to monitor water flow, detect leaks, and support informed decision-making.
