Security in AMI Water Networks
With the growing sophistication of cybercriminals and rising attacks against key infrastructure, the issue of security in the water industry is more prominent than ever before. As connected devices like smart meters are used more frequently, it is critical that water companies provide sufficient network security to ensure that customer data is securely protected. In […]
Read MoreCreating the Digital Utility
The digital revolution is growing at an exponential rate. As the volume of data collection and exchange builds momentum, the time is ripe for utilities to reap the benefits that turning ’digital’ involves. In this white paper, we offer a practical guide to what strategic and measurable benefits data can bring to a water company […]
Read MoreSensus RF Radio Safety
Electromagnetic radiation is a natural phenomenon that is vital to human existence. It is everywhere around us, be it the visible light illuminating all we see, and natural or man-made radio waves. However, while it is an inherent part of the universe, some are concerned about potential detrimental effects, which has led to confusion and […]
Read MoreNext Generation Smart Water: Non-Revenue Water Reduction
Water utilities around the world face the challenge of finding the right balance between investing to develop natural water resources (e.g. new water reservoirs, dams and aquifer boreholes) or investing to ensure the most efficient use of labour, finance, equipment and technologies needed to manage the water network more effectively. Both excessive consumption and excessive […]
Read MoreLeakage and Pressure Management: Reducing Non-Revenue Water Loss
Water utilities around the globe face the challenge of not only measuring water consumption and billing their customers accurately, but to also saving water proactively. Leaks and burst pipes can be a major pain-point for utilities. Non-revenue water (NRW) can take various shapes, from a leak that is not detected by the utility over time, […]
Read MoreElectromagnetic Meters for the Indian Market
India has a water distribution problem, brought about by climate change, rapid industrialization, a growing population and a water supply network that has not kept up with demand. Currently, the water supply is often rationed across different districts by “key turners,” who turn it off for hours a day. However, this approach, alongside the condition […]
Read MoreFour Fundamental Pillars for a Robust and Mission-Critical IoT Communication Network
Mission-Critical IoT is the term used to describe the intelligent network utility companies implement to enable near-real-time communication of their water, electricity and gas networks. A failure in any of these networks could result in catastrophic consequences for consumers and untold financial losses for the utilities. The critical aspect these networks represent mandates the importance […]
Read MoreNext Generation Smart Water: Your Solution to Global Water Challenges
The climate changes sweeping across the globe put untold pressure on water networks at both extremes; some areas are water stressed and others are prone to increased rainfall and flooding which take their toll on the amount of infrastructure needed to address the problem. The excess water requires treatment and pumping which exponentially increases the […]
