Smart Metering

Smart water management

Traditional water meters require manual readings, leading to inefficiencies, high labor costs, and delayed issue detection. Citymesh transforms water management with smart water meters connected via the Sigfox 0G network. These meters provide real-time insights, automate readings, and detect leaks early—helping cities, utilities, and businesses optimize water consumption.

Proven success: 240,000 smart meters in Antwerp

In collaboration with Hydroko, we deployed 240,000 smart water meters for Water-link in Antwerp, along with 30,000 meters in Knokke and Koksijde. These meters automatically send consumption data, eliminating manual readings and ensuring accurate, real-time measurements.

Key benefits

• Automated readings: Eliminates human errors and reduces labor costs.
• Real-time data: Enables frequent monitoring instead of monthly checks.
• Leak detection: Identifies anomalies instantly, preventing water waste.
• Optimized distribution: Improves planning for utilities and infrastructure.
• Consumer transparency: Helps businesses and households track usage in real-time.

Reliable and efficient connectivity

Citymesh uses the Sigfox 0G network, offering:

• Ultra-low power consumption: Ensuring meters operate for years without battery replacement.
• Long-range coverage: Reliable connectivity in urban and rural areas.
• Cost-effective transmission: Enabling large-scale deployments at minimal cost.

Smart ground-level monitoring

Beyond water management, Citymesh powers smart ground-level sensing solutions that help municipalities and businesses monitor environmental and infrastructure conditions in real time.

Transforming infrastructure monitoring

Thousands of sensors deployed across Belgium track temperature, humidity, soil conditions, road quality, and flood risks. These IoT-enabled sensors reduce the need for manual inspections and enable proactive maintenance.

Key benefits
