Semtech Corporation has announced a major contract involving its LoRa® technology in a groundbreaking smart water metering project with Yorkshire Water in the U.K. Partnering with Netmore Group, the initiative aims to deploy 1.3 million smart water meters over five years, significantly enhancing water management. This project is already yielding impressive results, including daily savings of 1.22 megaliters of water and the identification of over 1,000 customer-side leaks. Upon full deployment, it's expected to reduce leakage by 8 megaliters per day. The initiative also anticipates a 2-liter per person daily drop in household consumption and a 15% reduction in non-household water demand by 2050, while meter batteries are projected to last up to 15 years, reducing maintenance costs.
