T-Mobile has teamed up with Fluid Conservation Systems (FCS) to power its smart acoustic monitoring systems used by water utilities across the US. By utilizing T-Mobile's Business IoT services and reliable 5G network coverage, FCS is able to provide utilities with real-time data to detect and fix leaks before they become costly problems. This partnership helps utilities save on operating costs and prevent expensive repairs.
Water utilities face challenges with aging infrastructure and hidden leaks, resulting in significant water loss. The collaboration between T-Mobile and FCS enables utilities to accurately pinpoint leaks early on, providing them with the necessary information to focus their efforts efficiently. The use of cellular-connected acoustic sensors contributes to a more streamlined and effective leak detection process.
This innovative approach to leak detection represents a significant advancement in the industry, eliminating the need for manual inspections and saving time, resources, and water. T-Mobile's network capabilities enable the seamless transmission of data from various locations, even in remote areas.
