Case Study Overview
Our customer delivers intelligent, real-time water-management solutions for utilities, industrial sites, and smart buildings. Using IoT connectivity across NB-IoT, LTE/eSIM, and LoRaWAN, their platform enables continuous water-flow monitoring, early leak detection, and automated operational insights that reduce losses and improve network efficiency. Across distribution zones, real-time data helps teams detect anomalies, manage pressure, and execute targeted maintenance, strengthening infrastructure reliability while optimizing field operations.
At the core of this solution is Cavli’s C16QS LTE Cat 1bis module built on Qualcomm’s QCX216 chipset. With low power consumption, integrated GNSS, AGNSS, and advanced power-saving features, the C16QS ensures accurate data capture and long operational life in deployed meters and controllers. Available in LGA, mPCIe, and Dongle form factors, the module integrates seamlessly into large-scale smart metering and IoT water-infrastructure deployments.
