Digital transformation for Water Utilities
We’re dedicated to delivering outstanding services with smarter technology, creating a better, brighter, and more connected future for water utility companies.
Transforming water utilities with world-class connectivity
Water utilities are under pressure to deliver more with limited resources. To overcome these complex challenges and meet
tighter regulations, a new approach is required to build on
connected digital technologies that enable smarter, more efficient OT and IT operations.
We accelerate this transformation by embedding intelligent, secure, and future-ready connectivity across your operations. Our solutions help you deliver innovative, sustainable, and resilient water services now and for generations to come.
Connectivity: The water industry’s hidden current
Achieve the best outcomes in critical use cases with the optimum blend of hardware, software, and specialist connectivity services delivered by an expert partner with deep understanding in critical national infrastructure (CNI).
Prevent major services interruptions
Protect both IT and OT systems with secure, compliant, and resilient connectivity solutions trusted by CNI utilities and blue light services to safeguard major service interruptions.
Upgrade legacy systems
Replace outdated PSTN and 2G-based systems with secure, flexible, and scalable IoT-enabled alternatives—purpose-built to collect and transmit data from remote sensors and smart devices.
Save millions with smart technology
Detect leaks early and cut cost by identifying underground leaks early using acoustic sensors and AI-powered analytics to mitigate surface-level damage through faster incident response and reduce water loss.
