Smarter Utility Metering Solutions for Water, Gas & Electricity
Unlock accurate, real-time utility data with smart metering systems designed for scalable B2B operations across North America.
Smart Utility Metering is transforming how organizations monitor and manage consumption of water, gas, and electricity. By leveraging low-power, wide-area networking technologies like NB-IoT, these intelligent systems deliver real-time usage data, operational insights, and predictive analytics across diverse industrial and municipal applications. With automated data collection and remote control capabilities, smart meters help reduce waste, detect anomalies, and streamline billing processes—making utilities more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective.
At NBIoTPro, we offer complete Smart Utility Metering solutions for B2B customers across North America. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, we’ve built a reputation for delivering innovative, scalable, and highly reliable technologies that enhance operational visibility. Our end-to-end systems integrate robust hardware, secure cloud services, and intuitive analytics dashboards—all backed by responsive customer support and strict quality standards.

Case Studies
United States – Smart Gas Metering for a Midwestern Utility Provider
A regional utility company deployed over 25,000 NB-IoT-enabled gas meters across rural towns in the Midwest. With our support and GAO Tek Inc. hardware, they reduced manual meter readings by 90%, cut gas leak response time by 40%, and saved over $1.2M in operational costs within the first year.
United States – Smart Water Monitoring in Texas Industrial Park
A large industrial park in Texas implemented NBIoTPro’s smart water metering system integrated with flow sensors and cloud-based analytics. Water waste dropped by 30%, while real-time alerts enabled proactive maintenance across the site’s infrastructure, saving over 10 million gallons annually.
Canada – Smart Electric Metering in Ontario Residential Buildings
A real estate firm in Ontario retrofitted 12 high-rise buildings with NB-IoT-enabled smart electricity meters. Using a custom dashboard developed by NBIoTPro and GAO RFID Inc. hardware, the firm provided tenants with real-time usage data, resulting in a 15% energy reduction across all properties.
