Coverage Independent Water Meter Monitoring
Water services, especially in remote and infrastructure-limited areas, are under growing pressure to cut non-revenue water and manage resources more efficiently.
Plan-S enables continuous, automated water meter visibility by combining the Connecta Smart Meter Modem, the Connecta IoT Network satellite constellation, and an integrated IoT Platform that turns readings into action.
THE PROBLEM
Where Water Loss Hides: Beyond Coverage and Visibility
Utilities and water service providers lose time, water, and budget when meters sit outside dependable terrestrial coverage or require frequent on-site visits.
Non-revenue water remains hidden as leaks and anomalies go undetected between manual reads.
Remote locations are expensive to operate due to field visits and truck rolls that limit read frequency.
Coverage and power constraints create blind spots that break monitoring continuity.
Low-frequency data delays consumption insights and weakens forecasting, planning, and customer communication.
Scaling monitoring is difficult because expanding metering programs often requires slow and costly terrestrial infrastructure.
VALUE AT A GLANCE
The measurable impact of coverage-independent metering
Scheduled meter reads without manual collection or site visits.
THE SOLUTIONS
Automate Reads, and Trigger Action
Plan-S delivers an end-to-end architecture that connects water meters to decision-making, anywhere, using field hardware, satellite connectivity, and software in one operational loop.
Connect at the meter
The Connecta Smart Meter Modem attaches to the water meter and captures consumption data through pulse or serial interfaces.
Transmit via satellite
The modem sends readings through the Connecta IoT Network, Plan-S’s owned-and-operated satellite constellation.
Unify in the platform
Data flows into the integrated IoT Dashboard software platform for monitoring, visualization, and reporting.
Connect at the meter
The Connecta Smart Meter Modem attaches to the water meter and captures consumption data through pulse or serial interfaces.
Act without site visits
Teams prioritize interventions based on verified data, reducing unnecessary dispatches.
THE SOLUTIONS
The Operational Impact
Reduce non-revenue water by detecting anomalies earlier, enabling faster leak response and minimizing losses.
Cut operational costs by reducing field visits and truck rolls while increasing read frequency and accuracy.
Improve planning and service quality through accurate consumption analysis that strengthens forecasting, resource allocation, and customer engagement.
Scale monitoring to every location with a sustainable model that extends to remote areas without reliance on terrestrial infrastructure.
