An NB-IoT water meter is a type of smart water meter that uses Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology to enable remote, real-time water consumption monitoring. It connects directly to existing mobile networks, making it ideal for hard-to-reach areas such as underground pits or rural zones.

These meters offer several key features:

  • Real-time data transmission to utility platforms via NB-IoT

  • Automatic meter reading (AMR) to reduce manual labor

  • Leak detection alerts to minimize non-revenue water

  • Support for prepaid or postpaid billing systems

  • Low power consumption and long battery life (6–10 years)

By adopting NB-IoT water metering, utilities can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and offer consumers greater transparency into their water usage.
