British telecommunications company Vodafone continues to expand its range of IoT offerings, announcing a new smart technology designed to accelerate change in the UK water industry. The IoT-based tool aims to improve water companies' monitoring and detection systems to increase efficiency and reduce waste while adhering to various regulatory requirements.
For years, the water industry has been bogged down by legacy monitoring systems that were installed decades ago, resulting in notable overhead costs and operational inefficiencies. Vodafone's new IoT solution offers these companies a single data management platform that integrates old sensors into one new system. In addition, the solution is "technology agnostic," meaning it can be connected to any device and network.
Vodafone will offer its innovative solution as a package consisting of several IoT elements. These include the procurement of new devices and sensors, access to Vodafone's narrowband IoT coverage, a single data management platform, and ongoing service from the company's IoT experts.
