Neptune collaborates with Comcast on IoT solution

Comcast’s Internet of Things (IoT) service, machineQ, and water technology company, Neptune Technology Group, has announced it has collaborated on an IoT solution designed to accelerate Smart City projects focused on advanced water metering and infrastructure (AMI). The solution, which is now available, combines machineQ’s LoRaWAN network and connectivity platform, with Neptune LoRa-enabled water meters and sensors, to offer water utilities and municipalities a new connectivity option to wirelessly gather data about their critical infrastructure, and in turn, maximize their workforce and boost sustainability efforts.

“Water utilities can build on the smart water investments they already have using Neptune’s R900 Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) technology,” said Chuck Brunson, vice president of marketing, Neptune. “It’s the first LoRa Alliance certified solution for water AMI networks. This technology relieves the AMI infrastructure burden of costs, frustrations, and maintenance for our utility customers.”
