Resilient Water Networks through Secure Cellular Technology ( SES2 _ 01 )
Track : Innovating the Future of Water | 10:00 - 10:30 a . m . | Sponsored by Badger Meter
Digitalization is transforming how utilities function and how water services are delivered . New technologies not only enable existing systems to operate more efficiently , but also make new service delivery models possible . At the same time , the Internet of Things ( IoT ) is being adapted more widely to fit the unique needs of monitoring water networks . The question is , who is going to manage the network infrastructure ? Do you have qualified individuals within your utility ready to continuously monitor , maintain and manage the network ? This session is going to discuss some of the options available for water utilities today : a utility managed network versus a network as a service agreement ( NaaS ).
