New pathways for smart water utility digital transformation

As water utilities accelerate their digital transformation and smart water modernisation, LAISON is committed to enabling more efficient, data-driven, and sustainable operations. Join them to explore how you can work together to build smarter networks, improve visibility, and create long-term operational value.

At AfWASA Congress 2026, LAISON will present their end-to-end, result-oriented comprehensive solutions, including: Smart Meters, Communication technologies (LoRa/LoRaWAN/GPRS/CAT.1/NB-IoT/Sigfox), Digital Software Systems, Innovative Financing Models, aiming to improve cash flow, enhance operational efficiency, reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW), and improve customer satisfaction.

Global launch: The first white paper of “Metering as a Service"

LAISON will officially release the first White Paper of “ Metering as a Service (MaaS)” at the exhibition. By deeply integrating technology, financing, and services, MaaS enables a paradigm shift from 'Product/Tool Delivery' to 'Result/Value Delivery'. 

Specifically designed for water utilities in developing regions, MaaS addresses key challenges such as capital shortages, high water loss rate, and inefficient operations. The model supports utilities in achieving infrastructure digitalisation, improving cash flow cycles, and reducing NRW.

Key benefits of MaaS:

• Improve revenue, profit & cash flow
• Convert high CapEx into predictable OpEx
• Enable financing through ecosystem collaboration
• Guarantee NRW reduction & billing improvement via KPI-based services
• Build local capacity through training & knowledge transfer
• Deliver scalable, financially sustainable smart water systems

Also, we provide Multi-Jet domestic water meter, Woltman/Ultrasonic bulk water meter, and Electromagnetic Flow Meters, etc., covering sizes from DN15 to DN1200 to meet diverse application scenarios.

The new HDMS 2.0 version delivers enhanced functionality:

• Revenue Protection: Flexible prepaid & postpaid models accelerate collections, reduce arrears, and secure stable cash flow
• Digital Operations：Real-time work order & maintenance tracking for full meter lifecycle visibility and higher service efficiency
• High Capacity: Connect and manage millions of devices on one unified platform
• Flexible Meter Reading: Supports high-frequency collection, and online/offline meter reading to adapt to any network environment
• Actionable Insights: Customizable dashboards and reports transform data into insights for faster, smarter decision-making

Meet LAISON at AfWASA Congress 2026 to discover how smart metering and IoT data solutions can drive your utility's digital transition.
