Cranberry Analytics-Semtech are committed to a sustainable and smarter planet, says Pégulu
Cranberry Analytics, a water management company based in India, has chosen to integrate Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® standard into its ultrasonic meters for smart water metering under a contract with Panaji Municipal Corporation of Goa.
The contract was for use of its smart meters due to its reliable manual data capture and communication via LoRa modules which are from Camarillo, Southern California-based Semtech Corp (Nasdaq: SMTC).
“Semtech’s LoRa provides cost-effective sensors and strong signal propagation capabilities which are necessary in an urban setting for deep in-building or underground connectivity,” said Shishir Thakur, co-founder and CTO, Cranberry Analytics.
“Considering all these factors, it became a clear decision that LoRa and LoRaWAN would be the best choice for reliable water metering,” Thakur said on 19 May 2022.
Cranberry Analytics’ smart water meters allow system administrators to collect meter readings and water consumption data on a daily basis, allowing for effective planning of water distribution as well as real-time anomaly detection and leakage analysis. It also mitigates water wastage.
According to Cranberry Analytics, in the project’s initial phase, 3,094 consumer’s mechanical water meters were being replaced by ultrasonic meters utilizing LoRa and LoRaWAN.
“LoRaWAN integration into the Cranberry Analytics water meters will allow for long range data transmission while reducing costs and keeping customer’s data secure. The system’s communication capabilities will allow meters to be diagnosed and updated without physical intervention,” said Marc Pégulu, vice president of IoT product marketing and strategy for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group.
“Overall, the collaboration with Cranberry Analytics is continuing to highlight Semtech’s commitment toward creating a sustainable and smarter planet through LoRa devices and LoRaWAN.”
Semtech’s LoRa device-to-Cloud platform is a globally adopted long range, low power solution for IoT applications, enabling the rapid development and deployment of ultra-low power, cost efficient and long range IoT networks, gateways, sensors, module products, and IoT services worldwide. Semtech’s LoRa technology provides the communication layer for the LoRaWAN® standard, which is maintained by the LoRa Alliance®, an open IoT alliance for Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) applications that has been used to deploy IoT networks in over 170 countries.
