About Subeca
Under the direction of CEO Patrick Keaney, Subeca has developed a smart water meter register that can be installed on most current water meters in less than a minute, thereby turning dumb meters into smart ones. This lowers the cost of meter reading operations for water utilities while greatly expanding the quantity of data and insights that are accessible to them and their clients. Subeca does this by using their PIN-based smart meter register devices, which are instantaneously linked to the AWS cloud via Amazon Sidewalk.
