Smart Gas Metering

A gas meter already installed in a building measures correctly — what it cannot do is report. Reading it means sending someone to the door, and anything unusual between visits goes unnoticed until the next one.

Navisys meter communicators attach to the meter that is already there, mechanical or microcomputer, and give it a cellular link. No rewiring, no mains supply: the unit runs on its own battery with a 10-year standby, encrypts its traffic with AES 256 and reports to a cloud platform.

How it works
GC-51x Meter + communicator fitted to the existing meter, no rewiring, runs on its own battery LTE Cat 1 GC-511 NB-IoT / Cat M GC-512 Cloud platform AES 256 Utility back office remote reading, valve control, safety alerts
The communicator carries the reading from the meter to the utility, over whichever network is available in the area.
What metering projects need

Meters that are already installed, in places with no power

The communicator fits the meter that is already on the wall and runs on its own battery, so a site visit means fitting one unit rather than replacing a meter or pulling in a supply.

Coverage inside meter cupboards and basements

Meters sit in exactly the places a signal struggles to reach. NB-IoT and Cat M are built for that: small messages, deep indoor penetration and very little power. Where those networks are not deployed, LTE Cat 1 uses the ordinary cellular network instead.

A battery life that matches the meter's service interval

A 10-year standby means the communicator is not a new maintenance round of its own — it can be scheduled alongside the meter it is fitted to.

Consumption data that has to stay private

Readings describe when a building is occupied, so traffic is encrypted with AES 256 between the communicator and the cloud platform.

Recommended products

Gas meter communicators — choose by the network available in the area

Where it is used

Residential gas

Houses and apartments, where the cost of reading a meter is the visit rather than the reading.

Apartment blocks and estates

Many meters in one meter room, read together without anyone needing access to the building.

Commercial and catering

Restaurants, kitchens and small industry, where consumption is worth watching between billing periods.

Utility-wide rollouts

Area-by-area deployment, with the model chosen to match the network coverage in each area.
