Australian RTU technology expands into NZ

IT and business consulting services firm CGI has signed a reseller agreement with Landis+Gyr New Zealand to expand the availability of its Australian designed and manufactured remote telemetry units (RTUs) to utility providers across New Zealand, helping them enhance network visibility, reliability and operational resilience.

The agreement aims to support New Zealand utilities as they manage aging infrastructure, integrate renewable energy and respond more quickly to faults and outages across electricity, water and gas networks.

As a global energy technology company operating in more than 30 countries, Landis+Gyr will resell CGI’s RTUs in New Zealand and 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, improving situational awareness and reducing the time it takes to identify and respond to issues in the field. Designed and manufactured in Australia, the RTUs are built for long asset life, strong cybersecurity 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, Senior Vice-President, Australia, 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.”
