Veolia Water, Orange launch remote metering service

Veolia Water and Orange are joining forces in the smart metering sector and are launching m2o city, an operator specialised in remote environmental data and water meter reading services.

Building on the expertise of Veolia Water — which already operates over 200,000 water meters — and Orange’s expertise as a telco, the m2o city joint venture offers a complete turnkey service based on an ultralow consumption radio network to local authorities, through their municipal agencies or agents for water services. In addition to information from water meters, this network will be able to collect data from environmental sensors (to combat noise or pollution, for instance) in line with the expectations of any authorities.

Veolia Water plans to use the water metering service provides by m2o city to improve the quality of the service provided to consumers, optimise the water service’s performance and in this way safeguard resources more effectively.
