LoRaWAN IoT Smart Water supports long-term sustainability for changing water resources. Foresight of potential faults is critical before they reach customers and mitigate revenue loss.
LoRaWAN IoT in Smart Water
Water services providers now have the choice to build their own low power long range radio frequency networks to allow them to transmit data from battery operated devices to the internet at a lower cost than traditional carrier networks.
Meshed’ IoT Smart Water Network uses the leading LPWAN technology, LoRaWAN for low-cost transmission allowing data collection across significant geographic areas. Data can be collected from a range of sensors for different use cases across the water business & can be easily integrated in any database or software analytics platform of choice.
Use Cases of LoRaWAN in Smart Water
Meshed LoRaWAN IoT Smart Water provides a scalable, data-driven solution for diverse water & environmental applications, including:
- Digital Water Metering & Leak Detection
