KAIFA and UnaBiz have announced a partnership aimed at accelerating the global implementation of smart water metering solutions, driven by Sigfox 0G technology. The collaboration also encompasses efforts to introduce Sigfox 0G and LoRa dual-mode hybrid solutions to the market, further enhancing the ecosystem of smart metering solutions.

UnaBiz and KAIFA’s combined global footprint will allow the partners to address the unique needs of diverse markets. The pair will focus on specific regions like Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South America to accelerate and magnify its prevailing success.

“By leveraging UnaBiz’s renowned expertise in bespoke IoT solutions, and the tremendous potential for energy-efficiency enabled by the Sigfox 0G technology, we aim to bring to the market high-quality advanced water metering solutions that are not only accurate and reliable but also cost-competitive, scalable and environmentally friendly to the water metering sector,” says Henry Chan, global sales director of KAIFA.

“We are excited to partner with KAIFA to not only drive efficiency but also promote sustainability, making a positive impact on communities worldwide,” says Loic Barrancourt, chief commercial officer of UnaBiz Group. “KAIFA’s quality excellence and UnaBiz’s design capabilities are key ingredients to bringing an integrated fit-for-purpose solution to end customers to enable Massive IoT.”

Barrancourt added that UnaBiz looks “forward to working closely with KAIFA to bring on a new era of efficiency and sustainability in the realm of water resource management.”

Even prior to the formal announcement of the collaboration, the alliance had achieved ‘success’ in various parts of the globe. Most recently, Iguá Saneamento, a Brazilian water and sewerage services supplier, has partnered with KAIFA and WND Brazil to roll out 120,000 smart water meters powered by Sigfox 0G technology.
