Building Smart Water Solutions on Helium
The Helium Network enables utility providers to monitor and track water usage in real time.
With a unique, incentive-based approach Helium has built the largest, public IoT network in the US.
Smart Water solutions running on the Helium Network allow utility providers to prevent leaks, monitor water usage, and check pressure of systems.
The Helium Network is ideal for smart water management solutions to improve service quality, reduce non-revenue water, and increase operational efficiency.
The Helium Network
- Largest, public IoT network in the US means no purchasing or deploying gateways.
- Highly competitive connectivity costs: $1 per sensor for an entire year*
- Leverages open architecture and open standards allowing providers to future proof their investment
- Built on core technology and open wireless protocols used in deployments serving over 1 million customers, with almost 400K metering points
- With the Helium Blockchain companies can cryptographically prove the location and time a sensor sent data which is useful for reporting.
*For a sensor that sends data every 5 minutes.
Detect Leaks or Pipeline Bursts.
Leakage and pipeline bursts are among the leading causes of non-revenue water which can make up to 20 to 50% of total water supplied.
Sensors or collectors running on the Helium Network can detect leaks and send data in real time allowing companies to minimize the amount of water loss and revenue.
Monitor and Track Water Usage
Unlike walk by or drive by AMR systems, AMI solutions connecting to the Helium Network can remotely monitor and track water usage across long range (measured in miles) with long battery life (think years) without needing to deploy network infrastructure.
This allows operators to remotely monitor water usage, and improve their operational efficiency while providing better service to customers.
Continuously Check Water Pressure
By continually monitoring for pressure fluctuations in water management systems, providers can proactively detect anomalies which could be related to system faults or leaks.
Water pressure readings can be immediately sent if configured pressure thresholds are exceeded and these configurations can be updated remotely.
