Smart technology and digital infrastructure provider, Connexin, has reached a milestone in the development of its Internet of Things (IoT) network, which now connects 250,000 smart water meters across Britain.
Hull-based Connexin has secured major contracts with UK water suppliers – including Northumbrian Water, Essex & Suffolk Water, Yorkshire Water, and Severn Trent Water – to deliver smart water metering.
Currently compulsory in water-stressed regions, smart metering is expected to become mandatory nationwide following recommendations from the Cunliffe Review, published in July this year.
Connexin began rolling out its low-power, long-range LoRaWAN® network infrastructure across the UK in 2024, wirelessly connecting devices and sensors to improve the management of local water and other services.
Smart meters deliver near real-time data, enabling residents and businesses to track water usage, cut bills, and support initiatives to reduce leakage from the water network.
Smart-sensor technology can also aid in flood prevention, minimise damage and emergency response costs, optimise maintenance to lower operational spending, and strengthen climate resilience and public safety with targeted infrastructure insights.
Connexin’s LoRaWAN® IoT network currently connects almost 250,000 meters across the UK with a plan to connect the whole of the UK.
