The public water and sewage utility department at Orust municipality have built a wireless network throughout the municipality to be able to read water meters remotely. The wireless network can be used for other purposes, such as keeping track of the water temperature starting this summer.
The application is made possible by the leading LPWAN standard LoRaWAN®, which is based on an open standard and is a cost-effective way of communication with battery powered sensors. The advantages are several with very long reach and low energy sensors.
