HUNTER WATER IS USING LoRaWAN
®
TO IMPROVE WATER PIPE
MONITORING
"These devices, combined with the use of advanced
analytics, will give us greater visibility into how the
system is performing. Having that visibility will allow us
to more quickly find and respond to breaks if they
occur, particularly those in remote locations."
Richard Harris, Chief Information & Technology Officer, Hunter
Water
•
Pressure sensors from Ellenex and water flow meters deployed
with NNNCo's multi-purpose N-sen device are all connected via a
private LoRaWAN® network from NNNCo.
•
Trial started in June 2019 for one year
•
Accelerate response time before water leaks and pipe bursts can
occur, especially well-adapted in remote locations to ensure a
better uptime of the water pipe network.
•
Hunter Water wanted to monitor water pressure and flow in its
water pipes in the area of Lake Macquarie (Australia) to assist in
detecting leaks and predicting pipe bursts.
•
25km of the Hunter Water's pipes are monitored in a near real-
time.
