Semtech and Hanbit Build Efficient Water Networks with LoRa Devices

Semtech Corporation announced that Hanbit, a provider of end-to-end automation solutions in smart gas, water and electricity metering, has developed a new UWM solution built on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol.

Hanbit’s UWM smart meters use ultrasonic pulses to take precise measurements of water flowrate as low as three liters per hour. Flow readings occur at fixed intervals to provide accurate insight into water use trends. This accurate meter data is accessible in real time through Cloud-based applications for simplified billing and trend analysis. In the event of a drop in water flow or other abnormality, the smart meter immediately sends a warning message over the LoRaWAN network to enable a quick response and prevention of damage. Additionally, the low power capabilities of LoRa devices enable Hanbit to offer metering solutions with up to 20 years of battery life, reducing replacement and maintenance cost to the customer.
