Efficient Water Management with LoRaWAN Smart Water Meter Solution
LoRa, an LPWAN communication technology, introduces an ultra-long range wireless solution based on spread spectrum technology, championed by Semtech in the USA. This groundbreaking technology eliminates the trade-off between transmission distance and power consumption, providing users with a simple system enabling long-range communication, extended battery life, high capacity, and vast sensing networks. Currently, LoRa predominantly operates in the global free frequency bands, including 433, 470, 868, and 915 MHz.
The LoRa module serves as an ultra-long-range wireless transmission solution, based on spread spectrum technology. Offering long-range, low-power, multi-node capabilities, LoRaWAN-based networks ensure secure data transmission over extensive distances with bi-directional communication. This versatile technology finds applications in various industries, such as smart agriculture, smart buildings, and smart logistics.
The water meter performs essential functions like positive flow statistics, reverse flow statistics, magnetic interference detection, emergency valve shutdown, and wireless data transmission. The LoRa module's primary role is to relay signals to distant water meters, ensuring seamless communication. Meanwhile, the LoRa gateway acts as a command receiver, managing water meter data collection and uploads.
For wireless meter reading, the LoRa gateway uses GPRS communication to receive commands from the workstation and upload data. When the workstation needs to read the meter, it sends a meter reading command via GPRS to the LoRa gateway. The gateway communicates this command to the water meter through LoRa technology, and upon receiving the data, the LoRa gateway transmits it back to the workstation, completing the wireless meter reading process.
The concentrator/base station controls the 1st level repeater, which, in turn, manages multiple levels of repeaters, ensuring comprehensive coverage for the entire network.
Utilizing LoRa technology, smart water meters accurately and swiftly collect real-time water consumption data from residents, enhancing efficiency and service quality. During peak consumption periods, the customer water information system monitors and balances water usage in the area, safeguarding water supply for corporate production and residential use.
