Australian smart water meter company, WaterGroup has signed on a five-year partnership with IoT provider Thinxtra in a deal to detect water leaks along with avoiding the loss of litres of water.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Thinxtra says the Sigfox network will cover 95% of the Australian population by the end of the year and currently covers 71%.
“Large users of water will benefit greatly from this network coverage as it provides a platform for our smart meter systems. They deliver not only automated meter readings but also valuable additional information on water use that helps our clients save water and money. In particular, undetected leaks wasting millions of litres of water which cost thousands of dollars will become a thing of the past,” says Guenter Hauber-Davidson, managing director of WaterGroup.
Thinxtra chief executive Loic Barancourt said WaterGroup had been chosen as a partner “because it is one of the leading providers of systems and solutions to the smart water meter market in Australia with an excellent reputation of delivering tangible business outcomes to its enterprise and utility customers”.
“By joining forces with WaterGroup we will be combining their smarts in water meters with the benefits of Sigfox, the leading wireless technology for low cost and low power IoT applications.
“Thinxtra is becoming the low power wide area network of choice in Australasia for the Internet of Things. Thinxtra makes it simple and economical for objects to connect, thanks to the nationwide Sigfox networks we have already deployed and are operating.”
