LAISON LoRa/LoRaWAN dual-mode smart water meter enables flexible water management

Smart Energy International · Hangzhou Laison · last updated

As smart cities and intelligent water management expand globally, intelligent metering has become a crucial component of modern infrastructure. Single-protocol smart meters cannot fully meet the demands of complex networks or support deployments across both urban and remote areas.

To meet these needs, LAISON offers a LoRa/LoRaWAN dual-mode smart water meter, providing a flexible and reliable solution for a wide range of deployment scenarios.

Key technical features

LAISON’s dual-mode smart water meter combines advanced functionality with operational flexibility:

  • Dual-Mode Communication: Supports both LoRa and LoRaWAN, enabling deployment in both dense urban areas and remote locations.
  • Standard Protocols & Backup Channels: Fully compatible with LoRaWAN standards; infrared and Bluetooth channels serve as backups if the main channel fails.
  • Switchable Billing Modes: Supports both post paid and prepaid working modes, which can be switched as needed.
  • Flexible Recharge: Provides flexible recharge options, including remote automatic meter recharge via LoRaWAN and using CIU via LoRa.
  • Automatic Data Upload: Uploads daily data automatically for analysis, including hourly consumption, battery voltage, and other key parameters.
  • Security & Alerts: Equipped with anti-tamper protection, audible alarms, and event recording for magnetic interference, water leakage, bypass attempts, and other abnormal events.

Operational benefits

These core features provide water utilities with meaningful benefits, enhancing overall water management capabilities.

  1. Protect Investment:
    Avoid meter replacement during network upgrades between LoRa to LoRaWAN. One Meter Type covers both urban and remote users, reducing inventory and improving capital efficiency.
  2. Flexible Deployment:
    LoRa Walk-by AMR can be used as a supplementary solution in areas with few meters or where gateways are costly. Dual-mode communication allows utilities to select the best method for each scenario.
  3. Reduce Operational Costs:
    Remote management and automated data collection improve efficiency and reduce on-site inspections.
  4. Enhance Operational and Management Efficiency:
    Real-time data enables accurate consumption monitoring and anomaly detection, helping utilities optimize water management strategies.

LAISON’s LoRa/LoRaWAN dual-mode smart water meter offers a flexible, reliable, and future-ready solution for intelligent water management. Its compatibility with diverse network environments and deployment scenarios makes it a key enabler for smart city development and next-generation water infrastructure.
