Suez and Vodafone Team Up to Install 2 million NB-IoT Water Meters

Suez and Vodafone are collaborating to accelerate the global rollout of remote water meter readings using Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) technology. They aim to install over 2 million NB-IoT meters by 2030. According to their press release, this technology is key to reducing water consumption, potentially saving up to 15% by detecting leaks and monitoring usage. The partnership, beginning in the UK and set to expand to France, Italy, Spain, and New Zealand, seeks to provide a robust communication network that is essential for effective service without compromising on battery life.
