Digital Water Utilities Roll Out Across Russian Regions
Astrakhan has become the latest region to deploy remote monitoring systems to track the condition of water networks.
Innovative technologies have been introduced into Astrakhan’s water supply system, according to telecommunications company MTS. The digital solutions provider helped make the monitoring of pipelines and related infrastructure smarter and more responsive.
Special sensors are being installed in main pipelines, transmitting real-time operational data to a digital platform. The system records key metrics, flags potential risks and abnormal situations, and also helps regulate water supply levels.
A Dedicated Communications System
Data is transmitted via NB-IoT, an industrial Internet of Things technology that ensures reliable connectivity even in hard-to-reach locations. The Digital Water Utility service analyzes the performance of the entire water supply infrastructure.
Similar solutions are being developed by other Russian companies as well.
