SMART UTILITIES · AMI & LEAK DETECTION
Advanced Metering and Leak Detection at Network Scale
Replace manual reads with automated metering, catch leakage the moment it starts, and bill accurately without disputes — over licensed LoRaWAN® built for Oman.

// WHERE THE WATER GOES
You Cannot Bill What You Cannot Measure.
Non-revenue water is rarely one big burst. It is thousands of small losses — background leakage, aging meters, estimated bills — that only appear once the network can report on itself.
TYPICAL WATER BALANCE

■ BILLED CONSUMPTION
■ REAL LOSSES (LEAKAGE)
■ APPARENT LOSSES
Estimated bills and disputes
When reads are missed, customers are billed on estimates — and every correction costs trust and staff time.
Leaks found by the public
Background leakage runs for weeks underground until someone reports surface water, long after the loss began.
Manual reads across wide areas
Field teams spend days walking routes, and readings still arrive late, inconsistent, or unreadable.
No district-level visibility
Without metered zones, it is impossible to say which part of the network is losing water and how much.

CAPABILITY/02
Leak Detection & Prevention
Continuous flow and pressure monitoring across district metered areas turns a slow, invisible loss into an alert with a location attached.
◆Night-flow analysis per district
◆Pressure drop and surge detection
◆Zone-level loss ranking for crew dispatch
◆Alert escalation by severity and shift

// PROOF IN THE FIELD
Smart Metering for a Water Utility
CHALLENGE
Manual meter reads across a wide service area, recurring billing disputes from estimated invoices, and undetected background leakage inflating non-revenue water every cycle.
SOLUTION
LoRaWAN smart meters and district pressure sensors on ARNet™, feeding ARIoT™ for night-flow analysis, tamper alerts, and fully automated billing with payment reconciliation.
RESULT
Placeholder: XX% fewer manual reads, XX% faster leak response, and measurable non-revenue water recovery. Figures to be replaced with verified project results.
// FAQ
Smart Utilities FAQ
Yes. We supply both full smart meter replacements and retrofit modules that attach to many existing mechanical meters, so you can phase the rollout instead of replacing everything at once.
Flow and pressure anomalies within a district metered area are flagged as soon as the pattern deviates from its baseline — typically within one reporting cycle rather than the next billing period.
ARNet™ gateways can be deployed for the specific district. LoRaWAN's long range means a single well-placed gateway usually covers a wide area, including underground meter pits.
Yes. Meter reads can flow into your current billing platform via API, or you can use AR Technology's automated billing and collection module directly.
Devices report tamper, reverse-flow, and magnetic interference events as alerts, so apparent losses become visible instead of silently absorbed.
