|
PLANO , Texas — August
30, 2007 — Datamatic Ltd., a leading supplier of
flexible data collection solutions, was contracted to
sole source the new MOSAIC™ automated meter reading
system for the City of Tybee Island Water and Sewer Department
in Georgia. Datamatic will supply and install 3,000 MOSAIC-class
FIREFLY AMR units to improve water conservation and quality
control among residences and businesses in the tourist
community. MOSAIC is the industry’s first universally-compatible
AMR system capable of reading water, gas and electric
meters via handheld, mobile and full mesh network collection
platforms from the same endpoint.
Ken
Kercher, CEO of Datamatic said, “Tybee Island
community officials are dedicated to helping their residents
and visitors save money and protect their environmental
resources for the future. By using our MOSAIC AMR technology,
the city will receive the water conservation results
they are seeking, streamline billing and limit physical
labor, which saves time and money.”
Datamatic will start the process
by testing 500 FIREFLY units in strategic locations
throughout Tybee Island. The other 2,500 units will
then be installed to achieve 100 percent coverage in
the city.
Tybee Island is located in Chatham
County, just 18 miles east of Savannah, Ga. The island
resort town welcomes over 700,000 tourists annually,
mostly during the spring and summer months.
“After setting our goals for
water conservation, we found that Datamatic’s
AMR systems were the most advanced, efficient products
in the industry,” stated John Redmond, CFO at
the City of Tybee Island. “Robert Hanvey, our
Datamatic sales representative, has been extremely easy
to work with and he’s committed to helping us
reach full Datamatic coverage by early Spring 2008 to
accommodate the influx of visitors to the island.”
