Mass Installation, Inc.

Mass Installation, Inc. ("MII") is a 39-year old firm, based in Norwood, Massachusetts, which provides installation and consulting services for meters and meter reading technology to water utilities. . Over the past three and a half decades, MII has installed, tested and serviced or provided consulting services and Project Management for over one and half million water meters and end-points. The company's competitive profile is based on its expertise in the installation and management of cutting edge meter reading and data management technologies. From its beginnings, MII has been a leader in the evaluation and introduction of new meter and meter reading technology to the municipal waterworks industry. At every stage of development of automatic meter reading ("AMR") technology, beginning with hand-held units and telephone inbound systems, MII has been at the forefront. Today, MII is the most experienced project coordinator and installer of current state-of the-art radio frequency fixed-network AMR technology, with over 80% of existing meter reading units to the company's credit. A strong commitment to the advancement of meter and AMR technology will always be a centerpiece of the company's business plan. However, MII has come to recognize that new technology brings with it not only the ability to read meters more accurately and efficiently. The opportunities provided by modern AMR technology for new efficiency in system management, procurement and finance can be just as significant as the availability of more frequent and accurate readings.
