2022 USE CASE
Providing a Low Power, Low
Cost, 100% Coverage Solution
with LEO IoT Satellites
SITUATION
A major utility in the Middle East, in charge of
managing approximately two million smart meters,
wanted to improve the visibility of all its meters and
assets to deliver better quality services to its
customers. The utility faced challenges in capturing
data from some meters and other fixed assets,
especially when they were outside the cellular
network range, due to the:
- expensive and unreliable cellular connectivity
- local area network limited distance and the need
for ongoing power supply
- often inaccurate manual readings, time-consuming
and costly truck rolls and site visits.

SOLUTION
Wyld Networks have developed a new sensor-
to-satellite module suite with LoRaWAN® that
allows IoT sensors and devices to communicate
directly with the cloud, using Low Earth Orbiting
(LEO) satellites. Wyld's low-power, low-cost
LoRaWAN® solution enables data to be sent via
Wyld Connect, using just 2 x AA batteries or a
small solar cell, with an expected battery life of
up to several years. It provides 100% coverage
of any water and electricity metering and
infrastructure monitoring for any location.
Operators can access the data via the Wyld
Fusion cloud-based platform.
RESULTS
By gaining 100% visibility on all meters and
assets, the utility can now enable a predictive
and preventive strategy to monitor its
networks for leak, level and pressure sensors,
water levels and pressure sensors, transmission
lines, substations, and solar power stations.
Wyld's LEO IoT satellites provide uninterrupted
100% global connectivity so that the utility can
meet its commercial and sustainability targets
and deliver economic opportunities to drive
development, growth and new jobs.
Using Wyld Connect and Wyld Fusion, the
utility can enhance its operational efficiency
and effectiveness and promote preventive
maintenance, including planning, production,
transmission and distribution.
