Adams continued “The insight and intelligence that comes from the data generated by smart meters is critical.

The trial was implemented in partnership with KTL Ltd, who has a proven track record of delivering critical national infrastructure projects in Ireland, and Morrison Utility Services Ireland Ltd, who offer a wide range of utility services including meter installation. We’ve worked with over 200 utilities throughout the world, supporting them in similar initiatives ensuring that their investment and the capabilities of the network are maximised.” Neil Adams, Business Development Manager, Sensus, said: “We’re keen to demonstrate that proven solutions exist that address the water management challenges Ireland is currently facing. Smart Water meters can also help detect early customer side leakages helping to reduce any consequential damages. The introduction of smart water meters in Ireland will help Irish Water (a subsidiary of Bord Gáis) deliver efficiencies through the use of metering and network data and also help consumers manage their own water consumption, reducing demand and impact on the environment. Sensus | Xylem.London, England, 15 January 2013 - Sensus, a leading provider of intelligent smart communication solutions for water, gas and electric utilities, has delivered 100 percent connectivity to smart water meters located underground as part of a long range radio technology trial in Ballincollig, Co.Cork, Ireland. California Council on Science and Technology (CCST).
Smart Meters allow access to hourly weekly and monthly water usage as well as other added features such as leak detection and usage notifications. To date, there has been no report of a Sensus Water Smart Meter catching fire. These are typically installed in meter boxes which are typically under a metal or concrete lid. The batteries are sealed with the High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) enclosure of the smart point. Can the Sensus Water Smart Meter cause fire? Smart Meters typically send and receive short messages about 1% of the time. The frequency and power of the RF waves given off by Smart Meters are similar to that of a typical cell phone, cordless phone or residential Wi-Fi router. How much RF energy that people are exposed to from the Smart Meter depends on how far they are from the Smart Meter antenna and how the Smart Meter sends its signal. Smart Meters are typically installed outside of the home, either in place of or as part of existing meters. Scientific studies have not identified or confirmed negative health effects from potential non-thermal impacts of RF emissions such as those produced by existing common household electronic devices and Smart Meters.

The graphic below shows how Smart Meters compare to other common devices and appliances.
There is no evidence that additional standards are needed to protect the public from Smart Meters. Exposure levels from smart meters are well below the thresholds for such effects. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standard provides a currently accepted factor of safety against known thermally induced health impacts of Smart Meters and other electronic devices in the same range of RF emissions. Internet and cell phone applications have become the preferred options because of their flexibility and ease of deployment. Smart Meters communicate to their central systems using radio frequency (RF) transmission communication method. Some Smart Meters are also designed to transmit real-time information to the consumer. Smart Meters measure attributes of electricity, natural gas or water as delivered to consumers and transmit that usage information digitally back to utility companies.
