Trimble Launches New Portfolio of Wireless IoT Sensors for Water MonitoringNEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today its Telog® 41 Series of wireless, battery-powered sensors for water monitoring applications. These new Internet of Things (IoT) sensors use innovative, low-power, Long-Range (LoRa® technology) wireless communications to remotely measure and monitor water, wastewater and groundwater systems including water pressures, flows, levels and rainfall volumes. As part of a smart water infrastructure, the Telog 41 Series wireless sensors work in combination with Telog cloud-hosted and on–premise software to allow utilities to more easily and economically deploy wireless monitoring. The sensors extend across a utilities existing monitoring programs for better tracking, measurement and reporting of water usage, sanitary and combined-sewer overflows (CSO/SSO) and flooding, leakage and non-revenue water (NRW). The sensors can be deployed to enable utilities to address many of the significant challenges they are facing due to drought and water shortages, storm events and flooding, budget constraints and environmental regulations. The announcement was made at the 2016 Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC). LoRa for Smart Water IoT Applications The Telog 41 Series sensors leverage LoRa technology to operate on LoRaWAN™ wireless networks that are being deployed globally to support a variety of IoT and smart cities applications. LoRaWAN is a Low-Power, Wide Area Network (LPWAN) specification intended for wireless, battery-operated sensors or "Things" in regional, national or global networks. The LoRaWAN wireless specification enables seamless interoperability among IoT sensors without the need for complex local installations to enable the rollout of IoT applications such as the monitoring of water pressures, water levels, rainfall and metered flow volumes. It has been adopted by network providers across the U.S., Europe and Asia. "The IoT for water enables a step change in operational efficiency, compliance and sustainability for the water industry," said Adrian Newcombe, business director of Trimble's Telog solutions. "With the Telog 41 Series of IoT sensors, utilities now have the ability to monitor areas of their network that would have been cost prohibitive to reach in the past. And with the ability to wirelessly report data at resolutions down to five minute intervals, water managers have much deeper visibility into their operations. This is essential for enabling utilities to transform how they operate their distribution and collection networks." Telog 41 Series Solutions The Telog 41 Series includes five new wireless IoT sensors that monitor key measurements of water, wastewater and groundwater systems, including water system pressures, levels, flw and rainfall. The sensors communicate the data using LoRaWAN technology to Telog software at intervals between five minutes and 24 hours. Using Telog cloud-hosted or on-premise software, utilities have full access to Telog 41 Series monitoring data, including alerts and alarms and advanced analytics and reporting. The Telog 41 Series include:
Key common features of the Telog 41 Series remote monitoring sensors include:
