This whitepaper highlights how LoRaWAN technology supports smart water metering through Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). It details benefits like improved leak detection, water conservation, and operational efficiency. LoRaWAN is presented as an ideal solution due to its low cost, long battery life, and strong signal coverage, making it suitable for water meters in difficult-to-reach locations. Case studies from Yorkshire Water and Western Municipal Water District demonstrate how utilities can reduce water loss and operational costs while improving customer satisfaction.
