Prepayment
Aware of the inherent problems and costs associated with existing token based prepayment technologies Landis+Gyr has designed the 5236 Tokenless Smart Prepayment Meter.
The meter uses SMS messaging over the standard GSM network to provide Tokenless Prepayment, and remote meter reading & programming.
By not requiring a physical token to add credit, the meter solves the issues of token loss, out of hours call outs and problems associated with token interaction of current Prepayment meters.
Benefits of prepayment to the utility include
- Efficient means for revenue collection
- No posting or delivering of bills
- Control of customer arrears
- Reduction in customer visits
- Customer reduces amount of consumption

Landis+Gyr provide prepayment system solutions which support multiple flexible payment methods for the consumer.
