nRF9160 cellular IoT module detects leaks in water pipes

7Sense has partnered with the Norwegian Municipality of Horten to implement its nRF9160 SiP-powered leak detecting system to reduce water waste and meet sustainability goals. Water waste is a critical global issue, with countries around the world grappling with both the environmental and financial consequences. Fresh drinking water, in particular, is increasingly valuable, as over 2.2 billion people around the world already have no access to “safely managed drinking-water services” (that is, uncontaminated, on-site, and freely available water sources). And it’s not just large-scale losses that are of concern –…
