CGI inks NZ remote telemetry unit deal with Landis+Gyr

Tech and business consulting firm CGI has inked a deal with Landis+Gyr, a global energy technology firm, to expand the availability of its Australian-designed and built remote telemetry units (RTUs) in New Zealand.

In the crosshairs are New Zealand utility providers, with the RTUs intended to enhance network visibility, reliability and operational resilience.

Landis+Gyr, which operates in more than 30 countries, will resell CGI’s RTUs in New Zealand, and will also lead local market engagement, supported by CGI’s ongoing product development and operational technology expertise in Australia.

CGI’s RTUs enable utilities to monitor and control remote assets in real time, aiming to improve situational awareness and reducing the time it takes to identify and respond to issues in the field.

Developed and designed in Sydney and manufactured in Brisbane, CGI said the RTUs are built for long asset life, strong cyber security and reliable performance in harsh utility environments.

“This agreement enables us to deliver proven Australian RTU technology into the New Zealand market with a strong local partner,” said Les Davey, SVP for Australia at CGI.

“By combining CGI’s operational technology capability with Landis+Gyr’s local presence, we are helping utilities strengthen the reliability and resilience of essential services.”
