ebook – Smart Utilities and Metering

Scarce Fresh Water

According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), water covers 70% of our planet, but freshwater is extremely rare: only 3% of the world’s water. Intensive agricultural practices use 70% of the world’s freshwater, wasting some 60% with leaky irrigation systems and inefficient application methods. In addition, water utilities acknowledge that around 20% of freshwater provided by their systems is lost.

Clean Gas & Electricity

As urban populations will have doubled from 2 to 4 billion people worldwide by 2030, projections anticipate urban areas will account for 75% of global energy consumption, mostly electricity, in 20 years, compared to 66% currently. The first challenge for electric and gas utilities will be to invest enough to meet the developing demand, while managing energy costs. The second challenge relates to regulations around global warming, considering that traditional power generation still accounts for two-thirds of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Innovative Solutions, Enabled by LoRaWAN

A new generation of open and versatile networks, like those using LoRaWAN® low-power and long-range technology, brings the robust and reliable IoT connectivity required for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) to get real-time insights on energy and water distribution networks’ reliability and end-users’ consumption.

Cities and utilities can tap IoT technology to cut energy consumption and waste, improve urban building and housing sustainability, reduce industries and cities’ environmental footprints and increase resource preservation.

Kerlink and its partners together implement a wide range of best-in-class IoT metering solutions, dedicated to Smart Energy & Water Utilities.

You will enjoy in this eBook a new set of IoT success stories, enabled by LoRaWAN, covering 4 domains:

Smart Water – Fresh is Precious
Smart Gas – Hold the (Pipe) Line
Smart Electricity – Ubiquitous Electrons
Smart Green Energy – The Color of Power
