Netmore Launches Metering-as-a-Service to Accelerate Smart Metering for Water and Gas Utilities

(IN BRIEF) Netmore Group, a global IoT network operator, has launched its Metering-as-a-Service (MaaS) for water and gas utilities. This service offers a fully managed, turnkey alternative to traditional, capital-intensive AMI systems by eliminating upfront costs and instead charging a monthly fee per communicating meter—which covers repair and replacement services. With deep expertise in large-scale AMI deployments, rapid network rollouts, and strong industry partnerships, Netmore helps utilities shift focus from meter management to broader sustainability and efficiency challenges. Initially available in Europe and the United States, the service aims to accelerate utility modernization, especially for those unable to invest heavily upfront.

(PRESS RELEASE) STOCKHOLM, 11-Mar-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Netmore Group, a leading global operator of IoT networks, today announced the availability of Metering-as-a-Service (MaaS) for water and gas utilities. This innovative service offers an alternative to traditional capex-heavy Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployments by eliminating upfront costs and improving cash flow, helping utilities modernize faster and more affordably.

With extensive experience leading large-scale AMI projects and meeting strict SLA demands, Netmore has established itself as a critical player in utility infrastructure modernization. Further, with the proven ability to rapidly deploy networks in nearly any region, densify coverage on demand, and with established partnerships across the suppler and installer ecosystem, Netmore can assess project risks accurately and control outcomes more effectively than others who may lack the operational understanding of AMI.

Offering an option for utilities to redirect their focus from meter-related concerns to critical sustainability and efficiency issues, Netmore’s Metering-as-a-Service delivers a hassle-free fully managed turnkey AMI solution. Utilities pay only a monthly fee per communicating meter, which includes repair and replacement services, for the duration of the Metering-as-a-Service contract.

“By blending our deep operational expertise with flexible financing options, we’re able to offer Metering-as-a-Service solutions that not only come with competitive pricing but also strong, outcome-driven guarantees. This creates significant value for utilities, enabling them to focus on critical challenges like tackling non-revenue water, while we handle the technology. Most importantly, our approach makes the full potential of smart metering accessible to a broader range of utilities, especially those unable to make large upfront investments – unlocking a new era of efficiency and sustainability across the sector,” says Andreas Stenhager, CCO of Netmore Group.

Metering-as-a-Service is currently available from Netmore in Europe and the United States. Availability outside of these initial regions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
