WaterMeter Corp, in collaboration with WND Mexico and UnaBiz, has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to modernise water management in Mexico. This alliance aims to deploy 1 million water metres with Sigfox 0G Technology throughout Mexico over the next 10 years, offering solutions for accurate and sustainable measurement of water, gas and electricity for the benefit of communities and the environment.
Empowering water management with Sigfox 0G Technology
WaterMeter Corp has forged a high-impact alliance with WND Mexico and UnaBiz to introduce 1 million water measurement solutions based on Sigfox 0G technology in Mexico. Leveraging WND’s 0G Network, this collaboration will facilitate the monitoring and management of water resources.
WND Mexico: facilitating connectivity without borders
As the operator of the 0G Network in Mexico, WND Mexico is committed to providing coverage crucial to the deployment of water metering solutions powered by Sigfox 0G technology across the country. This alliance reinforces WND Mexico’s dedication to supporting IoT solutions.
UnaBiz: developer in the future of water management
As the owner of Sigfox 0G technology, UnaBiz guarantees the continuity and longevity of the network and services in Mexico for the next 15 years. With a track record of connecting more than 2 million gas and water metres worldwide through the global 0G Network, UnaBiz brings experience to this collaboration.
WaterMeter Corp
Committed to sustainability and efficiency, WaterMeter Corp, a provider in water measurement solutions, confidently embraces Sigfox 0G technology because of its ability to communicate equipment in a dispersed or sectorised way without the need to install concentrator antennas, repeaters or gateways on public poles. This decision underscores its commitment to providing cost-effective and sustainable water metering solutions for municipalities in Mexico.
This alliance between WaterMeter Corp, WND Mexico, and UnaBiz is based on a shared long-term business vision. Recognising the critical importance of security, stability, and continuity in the utility market, the trio aims to redefine water measurement in Mexico and beyond.
The fundamental objective is to multiply success stories based on projects with investment returns; UnaBiz, WND and WaterMeter Corp are willing to modernise the administration and management of water, gas, and electricity with technology.
Currently, the 0G Network covers more than 60% of the national population with the commitment to deploy in a few days. After the success of the initial stage applied to horizontal and vertical condominiums nationwide, the second step has been called: ‘the essence of IoT technology for everyone, everywhere’.
Marco Mendoza, CEO of WaterMeter Corp, says “Our customers expect water metering solutions that meet their basic needs: accounting for 100% of water, gas or electricity effectively (day, week or month), with cost-effective and operationally practical solutions, and that fit their implementation budgets. This is precisely why we are committed to the Sigfox 0G technology, which allows us to read metres remotely cost-effectively, predictably, and extremely energy-efficiently. Together with WND Mexico and UnaBiz, we will connect millions of water metres in Mexico.”
Daniel Philippe Guevara, CEO of WND Mexico, says “We are excited to partner with WaterMeter Corp (certified in IoT Network for utilities with Sigfox 0G technology) and UnaBiz to pave the way to a smarter and more sustainable Mexico. As the operator of Mexico’s 0G Network, WND Mexico is fully dedicated to providing solid coverage essential for deploying IoT solutions powered by Sigfox 0G technology, including water metering. We share a long-term vision with WaterMeter Corp, recognising the importance of safety, stability, and continuity in the utility market. We hope to transform the smart water metering landscape with 1 million connected water metres over the next 10 years.”
Henri Bong, CEO and co-founder of UnaBiz, says “At UnaBiz, we are committed to leveraging our experience as owners of Sigfox 0G technology to ensure the continuity and durability of the network and services in Mexico for the next 15 years. With a proven track record of connecting more than 2.6 million metres around the world through the Sigfox 0G Network, we are confident that, together with WaterMeter Corp, we will deliver water metering solutions that will help Mexican municipalities address the challenges of water scarcity, non-technical losses, and water leaks. With a long-term business vision, our goal is to modernise the water management system in Mexico, promote water conservation and ensure the country’s sustainable and efficient use of water resources.”
