     Free CCA Analysis:

    Upon request, the CCA will provide a free analysis of the economic impact that a wireless broadband and/or an AMI system will have on your municipality.

The analysis is made up of 6  key components:

• •  An estimated total cost to provide a turnkey solution to build-out the proposed infrastructure, along with the replacement and conversion of applicable meters (water, electric, gas) to AMI technology.
• •  The city’s potential to recover revenue currently being lost through degration of meters.
• •  The potential operational savings the city can expect in the areas of telecommunications and meter reading.
• •  The effect of  financing over different time periods.
• •  The estimated net financial benefit (positive, negative, or neutral) to the city.
• •  If the financial benefit is neutral or negative, alternatives will be provided to obtain a positive revenue stream.
