Smart water management

Our Smart Water Solution gives utility companies the advantage of sustainable financial and technical operation.

It is layered, starting from an array of coordinated smart meters, through communications and data collection, up to data management and software services for metering, billing, customer engagement, and network optimization. Smart water meters with Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies and advanced analytics have become the solution’s key focus.
The Smart Water Solution can be delivered as a managed service: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Smart Metering-as-a-Service (SMaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). The software is hosted in a private or public Cloud.
