What is an NB-IoT Remote Water Meter?
I. Overview of NB-IoT Remote Water Meters
NB-IoT remote water meters adopt the world's most advanced narrowband IoT technology, which has advantages such as deep network coverage, wide connectivity, and low power consumption. Communication is stable, reliable, and secure. It uses an industrial-grade NB-IoT/GPRS module and an industrial-grade M2M IoT SIM card. It features alarms for attacks, low battery, insufficient balance, valve malfunction, and overdue payments. It displays real-time data such as water usage, signal strength, and valve status.
II. Advantages of NB-IoT Remote Water Meters
1. Simple Installation: The IoT water meter uses NB-IoT technology to directly upload data to the cloud platform via IoT signals, eliminating the need for communication cables and saving installation costs. Meanwhile, it eliminates the need for concentrators and collectors, communicating directly with NB-IoT base stations. The water meter has a built-in IoT card, similar to a SIM card, allowing for easy operation even in areas with complex terrain and scattered housing, as long as there is an IoT signal.
2. Remote Meter Reading: NB-IoT remote water meters support remote meter reading, eliminating the need for door-to-door data collection and saving significant time and manpower. Remote meter reading is more accurate and faster, while avoiding incorrect, missed, or biased readings.
3. Tiered Water Pricing: NB-IoT remote water meters can implement monthly, quarterly, and annual tiered pricing through a water meter system platform. Different tiered pricing is applied based on the region, encouraging water conservation. Higher water consumption results in higher bills, thus raising awareness of water conservation.
4. Remote Valve Control: NB-IoT remote water meters can monitor users' water usage in real time through the water meter system. If any abnormalities occur, such as water theft, leakage, or runaway water, the valve of the user's water meter can be directly shut off via remote valve control, addressing the problem promptly and preventing further losses and waste.
5. Data Monitoring: NB-IoT remote water meters can automatically upload water usage data, directly monitoring and analyzing users' water usage for management adjustments and control.
6. Smart Payment: NB-IoT remote water meters eliminate the need for users to queue at water bill offices or property management offices to pay water bills, offering convenience and speed. Users will also receive reminders when water bills are low, prompting timely payment and preventing water outages.
