FLAG is a NB-IoT smart water meter consisting of flow sensors and microprocessors that uses advanced ultrasonic metering technology to calculate the water flow rate in pipes, has a distinctive design and facilitates the reading of data transmitted either via equipment or via the web. It has the most up-to-date narrowband mobile communications technology on the market, with the benefits of network coverage and depth, long-range connections and low power consumption and a lithium battery with a 10-year useful life. FLAG enables the upload of daily data including water consumption and all related statistics. It is also possible to switch off the water by remote control of the valve.
