Where are Neptune metering systems available?
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Wyoming
Utilities nationwide have partnered with Ferguson Waterworks to both supply and manage the integration of Neptune Technology Group’s water metering solutions. Combine the power of Neptune’s proven water metering technology with multi-carrier cellular, AMI, AMR, and even touch-read endpoints in one platform: Neptune 360. Because of its integrated radio endpoints, customers can select from standalone meters with wire endpoints or AMR/AMI integration.
Neptune strives to provide hassle-free and adaptable technology solutions.
- No programming required – Neptune’s R900 endpoint operates simultaneously as both an AMR and AMI endpoint. Therefore, changing modes does not require re-programming.
- No stranded assets – Neptune solutions are fully backward compatible and forward-migratable. In fact, the first radio endpoint Neptune ever produced in 1999 remains readable with equipment sold today!
- One platform for all systems – Neptune’s seamless software package adapts to various metering systems and reads from touchpad, AMR, AMI, and cellular meters.
- Large selection of meter sizes – Select from ⅝” – 12” mechanical and ultrasonic meters!

What are Neptune advanced metering infrastructure, or AMI, solutions?
If your utility is considering upgrading to advanced metering infrastructure technology, or AMI, the Neptune R900® System provides a forward- and backward-compatible solution. Furthermore, it won’t strand existing assets. Neptune’s AMI system of data collectors, endpoints, and connectivity seamlessly work together to receive and transmit information, giving you the flexibility to customize your data collection.
With improved access to meter readings, Neptune’s R900 System endpoints allow you to resolve customer inquiries and proactively identify potential issues. Note to mention, gateways collect detailed consumption information from all communication-enabled meters, as well as alerts about daily leaks, reverse flow, and days of no flow. Eliminate the need for separate reading systems, site visits, endpoint reprogramming, or reconfiguration with Neptune’s R900 System endpoints.
What are Neptune automatic meter reading, or AMR, water metering solutions?
For utilities interested in automatic meter reading technology, or AMR, Neptune’s mobile data collector is designed to work with their meter route and mapping software for a comprehensive drive-by meter reading solution. Working seamlessly with Neptune 360 cloud-based software, Neptune’s mobile data collector features the benefits of the R900 System, including:
- The ability to read 50 water meters simultaneously while simply driving by the fixed water meter endpoints
- Reduced labor hours and increased accuracy of water meter data, which can lead to overall improved operational efficiencies
- Remote and real-time data uploads to your utility’s host system through the Bluetooth-capable mobile data collector
- Bring your own device (BYOD) compatibility with Android or iOS
Are Neptune meters and endpoints compatible with other lines?
Yes, Neptune meters and endpoints are cross-compatible with competitive meter systems that use an encoded output.
