MTN launches Smart Water Metering solution

MTN and Huawei have launched the Smart Water Metering solution, the “first Narrowband Internet of Things solution in Africa”.

Interesting.

This is old news, they tried it in our area 3 years ago.
We all had these special water meters that were connected to the internet and relayed information to the local municipality.
At the end of the day they read rubbish and where in our case we use an average of 7 KL's a month it said we used 19 KL's.
About a year ago they took them all out and scrapped the idea after spending millions on the experiment.

So you'll also get double billed for water?

Not sure MTN inspires much confidence in implementing new technologies when they can't even get the simpler technologies to work. Great idea but not the best implementation partner Huawei.
