As per the HEFCOM news release

Fred Claassens, chief operation officer (COO) and director of Hefcom SA, explains: “The Hefcom Solution is essentially a wireless hub for all consumers of utility services. Wireless meters are installed on the water, electricity and gas utilities, and the data from these meters are collected by the hub and can be sent via the hub’s GSM/GPRS gateway to the local municipality, or any other organization, for billing and management purposes, as well as used by the premises owner to manage expenditure on each utility.”

Claassens adds: “Our target market for the Hefcom Solution includes municipalities, property investment companies, business parks, shopping centers, body corporates and private households, all of which can benefit from improved information and control, and the elimination of tampering.“
