Yorkshire Water has awarded a contract for the supply of remote telemetry units (RTUs) and associated equipment worth an estimated £8 million.
The proposed solution to be provided under the contract, which covers the supply of telemetred devices for asset replacement and expansion, was required to be compatible with current Yorkshire Water Protocol and be able to deliver a continuous data stream direct to the water company’s regional telemetry system for alarm management.
Hampshire based firm Metasphere Ltd has been awarded the contract – the only company who bid for the work.
The telemetry specialist has supplied over 40,000 RTUs to customers, including the first single board RTU on the market. The company was one of the founder members for the development of the WITS protocol and was instrumental in developing the software.
