IoT in Smart Water Metering: The Foundation of Real-Time, Connected Infrastructure

IoT Sensors and Smart Meters

Smart water meters embedded with IoT sensors continuously measure: Flow rate, Pressure, Temperature, Sometimes water quality parameters.

These meters are equipped with communication modules (e.g., NB-IoT, LoRaWAN) to send data in near real-time.

IoT devices allow remote meter reading eliminating manual site visits and human error. Smart Metering Systems for Municipal Water Supply, Role of IoT and Artificial Intelligence

Communication Networks

IoT networks connect thousands to millions of meters across a city.

Various communication technologies (low-power wide area networks like LoRaWAN, cellular NB-IoT, or mesh networks) enable:

Scalable coverage in urban, suburban, and rural areas, Low latency data transfer, Energy-efficient operation prolonging battery life.
