WaterSignal enhances water monitoring with Telit Cinterion’s IoT solutions

Telit Cinterion is working with WaterSignal to ensure always-on connectivity for real-time water monitoring and leak detection systems. As water scarcity continues to increase worldwide, baseline water benchmarking and evaluation have become critical, requiring operation teams for domestic meters, irrigation systems and cooling towers to have reliable access to on[1]demand data. Through WaterSignal’s remote water monitoring capabilities, supported by cellular low power wide area (LPWA) modules and IoT connectivity, teams gain deeper insights into their towers and system efficiency. This helps eliminate the need to perform repetitive, manual day-to-day meter readings.

Telit Cinterion’s cellular LPWA modules support various devices, from point-of sale terminals and smart meters to industrial sensors and asset management. Its modules include power saving mode (PSM) and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) capabilities which can help to improve IoT application power saving and battery life.

“Telit Cinterion is a leading IoT provider and was selected because of its excellent reputation for quality modules, which later expanded to its IoT connectivity network services,” said Mike Drake, the vice president of engineering at WaterSignal. “WaterSignal can ensure connectivity for customers via cellular data rather than Wi-Fi. It does not require a connection to power. This capability provides a more stable connection. It allows the WaterSignal device to communicate, even in deep vaults or locations far away from buildings with Wi-Fi.”

Neset Yalcinkaya, the senior vice president of sales for Americas at Telit Cinterion, added: “When monitoring critical resources, like water, a reliable connection is pivotal to maintaining visibility and extracting actionable insights. WaterSignal’s technology is invaluable for operation teams, and we are pleased that Telit Cinterion’s cellular LPWA modules and IoT connectivity solutions are central to providing that essential connection, particularly the ability to use cellular instead of Wi-Fi to transfer water data independently of a power source during an outage.”
