TRANSFORMS SMART UTILITIES

300 MILLION1

By 2023, the number of smart meters and utility applications connected to low power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies is projected to reach

Connected solutions utilizing Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® standard can wirelessly measure usage data and trends in dense urban environments, indoors and even underground.

Utility applications, integrating LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN standard, offer customers strong business

value and deliver quick return on investment.

INTELLIGENT ENERGY

IoT applications for gas, electrical,heat and water utilities

With increased digitization of smart grids and management systems, utility companies can improve efficiency up to 25%.2

Increase Efficiency

Allowing customers to visualize and evaluate their

own consumption empowers them to optimize costs and

increase sustainability.

LoRaWAN provides the lowest cost of ownership as utility companies can easily

expand network connectivity to leverage other applications.

Low TCO

LoRaWAN is an open standard that provides operators with the ability to easily deploy and scale integrated systems of smart meters and data management applications.

ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE (AMI)

LoRa enables two-way wireless communications using low power consumption to preserve battery life. Wireless sensors replace costly manual reading processes.

REMOTE METER READING

The deployment of sensors using LoRaWAN monitor pressure and flow, measure acoustic vibrations to detect anomalies and pinpoint failures automatically.

WATER LEAK DETECTION

Gas sensors connected to LoRaWAN detect Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) concentrations of methane or carbon dioxide gases, send automatic alerts and remotely shut-off valves.

GAS SAFETY

LoRa devices remotely monitor the integrity of electrical power lines and low voltage substation feeders to identify issues to be fixed before there is a failure.

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS

Ruggedized sensors and gateways trigger instant alarms to protect critical assets, including copper and water hydrants.

THEFT PREVENTION

LoRa leverages international standards required by utilities

The global standard for metering data exchange and interoperability,

approved by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

Support of the most recent internet protocol via the adaptation layer

SCHC, approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

DLMSTM

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)

Reduce Carbon Footprint

Access to timely dataenhances reliability, enables Demand Side Flexibility (DSF)and reduces operational costs.

Improve Service

By implementing smart technology comprised of sensors and gateways, utility and metering companies can more efficiently collect data

and streamline operations.
