NetComm HSPA M2M Routers provide undisrupted point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless communications for the remote management, regulation and control of sewerage pumps located in demanding environments such as mountainous terrains, high water table districts, environmentally sensitive regions, high gravity zones and other areas typically serviced by pressure sewerage systems. An initial deployment will commence in early November this year.

“The extraordinary growth of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity is largely driven by demand from innovative utility companies such as South East Water. We are pleased to have been selected to develop the advanced wireless M2M technology needed to support South East Water’s strong commitment to innovation and customer service.” said David Stewart, Managing Director, NetComm.
