en.Wedoany.com Reported - ASTERRA announced the launch of its operational intelligence platform, EO Discover 3.0, in San Diego, USA, helping water utilities derive greater value from satellite-based leak detection. The enhanced platform debuted during the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE), designed to help utilities move beyond the stage of identifying leaks, enabling faster and more confident decisions on where to dispatch crews, allocate budgets, and plan infrastructure improvements.
EO Discover 3.0 is tailored to the pace and complexity of modern utility operations, offering new visualization, filtering, and planning tools that transform satellite insights into clear operational priorities. This launch underscores ASTERRA's ongoing expansion from a leak detection provider to a strategic technology partner for utilities managing water loss, workforce constraints, and aging infrastructure. James Perry, CEO of ASTERRA, stated that utilities need clearer visibility into where to act first, and EO Discover 3.0 enables operational teams to quickly prioritize investigations, coordinate field activities, and better utilize limited resources—a significant step toward helping utilities manage non-revenue water more efficiently.
EO Discover 3.0 features a redesigned interface and expanded tools, allowing utilities to filter detections by District Metered Area (DMA), pipe material, pipe diameter, leak size, and work assignment. Interactive cluster maps highlight concentrated areas of potential leaks, while customer GIS layer uploads and customizable survey polygons add operational context for planning and response. Built-in action item management helps teams organize, track, and execute field activities within a single platform. Cynthia Baughman, Water Technology Director for the City of Garland, Texas, noted that today's utilities need actionable intelligence, and ASTERRA's technology provides greater visibility into systems. EO Discover helps translate information into action, supporting smarter decisions in addressing water loss and modernizing aging infrastructure.
Alongside EO Discover 3.0, ASTERRA also launched the Recover Application Programming Interface (API), enabling utilities to integrate ASTERRA's full-network satellite intelligence directly into existing GIS, asset management, and operational systems. The Recover API reduces manual handoffs and makes it easier to embed satellite-derived insights into established utility workflows.
The rollout of these new features comes as global utilities strive to reduce non-revenue water, modernize aging infrastructure, and extend limited budgets and workforce capabilities. By combining satellite-based leak detection with operational planning tools, ASTERRA is expanding how utilities can leverage satellite intelligence not only to identify problems but also to act faster and more strategically.
At the ACE conference in Washington, D.C., from June 21 to 24, 2026, ASTERRA will also showcase customer success stories and industry collaboration projects through multiple technical presentations. On Monday, June 22, Toni Amenrud, ASTERRA's Strategic Channel Manager, and Maia Dupes, Civil Engineer at Freese and Nichols, will present "Collaborative Innovation: How Roswell, New Mexico, and Freese and Nichols Use Satellite Analytics to Reduce Non-Revenue Water," highlighting how engineering partnerships and satellite analytics help utilities improve operational efficiency. On the same day, Cesar Garcia, ASTERRA's Sales Manager for Western US and Latin America, will present "Protecting World Heritage Sites and IT Environments from Space: Satellite-Based Water Conservation Technology on Easter Island," demonstrating how satellite leak detection for drinking water and wastewater supports data-driven water management on the unique island of Easter Island. On Wednesday, June 24, Andrew Hautzinger, Water Resources Professional at the New Mexico Environment Department's Water Conservation Section, will participate in a panel discussion titled "The Last Drop: Making AI Work for Utilities: From Paperwork to Pipes," exploring how artificial intelligence supports utility operations, asset management, and water conservation.
