„Viimsi Vesi is always looking for the next generation technologies that are matching our needs, to provide the clients with best-quality services. This is why we decided to team up with Levira, an experienced industry leader in the field of radio communications software solutions, as well as with Sigfox, provider of a global IoT network, and with Kamstrup that delivers high-end technology for metring“, said Pille Arula, CFO at AS Viimsi Vesi.

The new solution enables remote reading of water consumption data of Viimsi Vesi’s clients and quick assessments for monthly billing and reporting purposes can be made.
