Manual reading of traditional water meters imposes high labor costs and management pressure on governments. The installation of wireless meter reading modules enables old water meter upgrading with three mainstream IoT communication methods: LoRaWAN, NB-IoT and 4G.
1. Main Communication Technologies
- LoRaWAN: Low power consumption and long transmission distance, suitable for scattered water meters in rural and suburban areas.
- NB-IoT: Stable network coverage for dense urban residential scenarios with easy deployment.
- 4G: High-speed data transmission for real-time monitoring of commercial water meters.
2. Metering Data Management
Upgraded water meters transmit consumption data to a centralized management platform. The system automatically collects and analyzes data, removing manual recording and lowering human errors.
3. Government Cost-saving Benefits
- Cut massive manual inspection and labor costs.
- Reduce equipment maintenance and management expenditures.
- Identify water leakage to optimize resource utilization.
