IoTsens has established a joint venture with Spain's leading integrated water management company, FACSA, to accurately track and control water management in Castellón, Spain. Founded in 1873, FACSA serves more than 4 million citizens in 70 cities. In addition to intelligence Water meters, IoTsens also provides other IoT services for FACSA's smart city projects such as sound, air quality, smart parking and irrigation solutions.
'Our smart water platform provides relevant and valuable information for the daily management and resource optimization of Castellón,' said Ignacio Llopis, CEO of IoTsens. 'Incorporating Semtech's LoRa technology into our smart water platform is a simple and The process. We can quickly integrate, deploy and test 600 smart water meters to verify concepts, paving the way for current FACSA to roll out 30,000 water meters.
"With its long-range and low-power capabilities, LoRa-based sensors are able to collect and transmit important daily data to accurately track and control water management," said Vivek Mohan, Director of Internet of Things at the Semtech Wireless and Sensing Products business unit. 'IoTsens The system can also quickly detect leaks and fractures, real-time detection of improper operation in the water supply network, thereby avoiding service loss and expensive maintenance. More cities are adopting IoT technologies such as Semtech's LoRa technology to increase Efficiency and creating a smarter planet. '
Key features of LoRa technology: • Long range: A single base station using LoRa technology provides deep penetration and indoor coverage in a dense urban environment, while connecting to 15-30 miles or more in rural areas Sensors. • Low power consumption: Unprecedented battery life, even for up to 100 years. • Positioning: Supports position tracking applications without GPS or additional power consumption. • Low cost: LoRa technology reduces the base Pre-investment and operating costs of the facility, and the cost of the sensor at the end node. • Open standards: The LoRaWAN open protocol provided by the LoRa AllianceTM ensures interoperability between applications, IoT solution providers and telecommunications Operators can speed up the introduction and deployment.
