CEO’s COMMENT

ALOS-2 SAR data: essential to our common mission (power saving, CO2 reduction)

ASTERRA (formerly Utilis) is honored and humbled to be the first ever recipient of an award from such a prestigious leader in the industry as the American Water Works Association. This validates the technology of using ALOS-2 SAR data for finding leaking pipes underground and the need to bring it into water utilities worldwide in an operational manner. As we see year-over-year demand for this product increasing at even a higher rate, it proves that ALOS-2 data is essential to the service and our shared mission to save water, the electricity that is used to pump wasted water, as well as the associated CO2.
