Smart water management systems utilize IoT (Internet of Things) technology to enable intelligent management of water supply networks, wastewater treatment, and terminal usage. Core functionalities include:
• **real-time monitoring** (water quality/pressure/flow rate)
• **leakage detection and early warning** (positioning accuracy ±1 meter)
• **dynamic scheduling** (water-saving rate of 30%-50%)
relying on wireless communication technologies such as NB-IoT, LoRa, and 5G for data transmission and remote control.
As core carriers for data transmission, antennas address the complex environmental challenges in water management scenarios:
• Smart Water Meters:Sub-GHz ceramic antennas penetrate concrete walls to enable remote meter reading via LoRa protocol;
• Pipeline Monitoring: External high-gain helical antennas (gain ≥5 dBi) combined with NB-IoT achieve real-time positioning of pipeline leakage points;
• Wastewater Treatment:IP68-rated circular antennas integrated into sensors resist corrosion from sewage while maintaining stable signal transmission.
