Over several years we have designed and developed a range of data collectors that can upgrade existing utility meters to the functionality of interval meters at a fraction of the cost of a 'rip and replace' programme.

Our technology has a number of competitive advantages over other technologies, including:

• unique technology with world-wide application (provisional application for patents pending)
• timely access to the market and immediate revenue streams
• simple low cost unassailable price advantage
• easy to install products
• no requirement to interrupt power supply to install the products
• no requirement to replace the existing meter
• broad application and cost effective solutions for the power industry
• functionality of the technology may be remotely updated without physical attendance
• built in back-up and double-checking of data.  Because the product sits on an existing meter, there is a built in point of comparison, and in the unlikely event that the product is damaged or removed, the existing meter continues to capture usage information.  As such, the existing meter provides a fail safe back-up.
• multiple existing sales channels
• multiple value added second and third stage revenue opportunities, and
• no on-site readings needed.
