Smart Water Meter Frequently Asked Questions
Smart water meters enable remote reading, real-time water consumption monitoring, leak detection alerts, and data analytics. They significantly reduce manual meter-reading costs and improve water management efficiency. Additionally, they can quickly identify abnormal usage—such as pipe leaks or unauthorized water use—helping customers conserve water and minimize financial losses.
How is data transmitted from the smart water meter? Is additional infrastructure like gateways or base stations required?
Our smart water meters support multiple communication protocols, including NB-IoT, LoRa, GPRS, and 4G. The optimal solution can be customized based on your project scale and existing network environment. Most configurations (e.g., NB-IoT) connect directly to public cellular networks without extra hardware. For private networks like LoRa, we provide complete networking guidance and necessary equipment.
Can your smart meters integrate with existing water management platforms?
Yes. Our smart water meters offer standard APIs and support common communication protocols (such as DL/T 645, Modbus, and MQTT), enabling seamless integration with leading water utility management systems, smart community platforms, or enterprise ERP systems to ensure smooth data exchange and operational synergy.
