What Octave Taught Us: Lessons From A Solid-State Metering Trailblazer

Sixteen years ago, Master Meter launched Octave, the industry’s first ultrasonic meter designed specifically for commercial and industrial (C&I) water measurement. This bold move transformed how water utilities monitor high-volume usage by eliminating moving parts, increasing measurement accuracy, and unlocking advanced data analytics. Octave redefined what C&I customers could expect from their water metering technology—delivering unprecedented reliability, reduced maintenance, and long-term cost savings for utilities and their commercial partners alike.

But Octave didn’t just stand alone—it opened the door for Master Meter’s future-forward journey into residential ultrasonic metering with the Sonata. Together, these platforms share a common DNA of precision, performance, and proven results. 

In this webinar, we'll reflect on Octave’s 16-year legacy of leadership, examine how it set the stage for the widespread adoption of solid-state metering, and share real-world insights from utilities that made the leap early and never looked back.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Discover how Octave revolutionized C&I water measurement and set new standards for accuracy, durability, and actionable insights
• Understand how Octave laid the technological foundation for Sonata and the broader shift toward ultrasonic measurement in residential applications
• Learn how forward-thinking utilities leveraged Octave to reduce non-revenue water and improve operational efficiency—and how you can too
