The co-operation will combine IoT connectivity provided by UROS with Pisara’s advanced technical water solutions to create smart management solutions for national water operation systems around the globe. Pisara’s smart water cycle offers preventive maintenance solutions aimed at avoiding water supply crises and at guaranteeing quality water for consumers.

“The world's smartest digital water solutions combined with global connectivity and security enable water management to enter a new era in which water will be distributed via intelligent water networks and in which water quality will be controlled using artificial intelligence and smart sensors. People in communities around the world will soon be able to monitor in real time the quality of their most valuable asset and foodstuff – clean water,” commented Sakari Laitinen, Pisara Water Business Development Manager.

“Offering global IoT connectivity for Pisara’s water management solution follows UROS’ strategy to expand the company’s connectivity technology beyond the telecoms sector, into new industry verticals”, said UROS CEO Gerrit Jan Konijnenberg. “We value innovation and are very happy to be part of this unique approach to water quality management that respects the environment as a water source.”
