LoRaWan used in Goan smart city water metering project
SenRa and Cranberry Analytics are partnering to digitise Panaji smart city’s water supply with the low power network and ultrasonic smart water meters.
Pan-India LoRaWan public network operator SenRa has been chosen by the India water management company Cranberry Analytics as its partner in a smart water metering project in Goa.
The Goan state capital of Panaji’s public works department (PWD) awarded its smart water metering contract to Cranberry Analytics with an initial phase of replacing 3,094 consumer-grade mechanical water meters with LoRaWan-enabled ultrasonic smart water meters. In support of this project, SenRa will be deploying its public network across Panaji to enable the streaming of the smart water meter data.
Smart water metering
According to Cranberry Analytics, its smart water metering solution provides a more sustainable approach to managing water supply and distribution by analysing water consumption data on a daily basis to detect anomalies in water distribution and consumption. Through correlation of that data with other data streams, it helps cities in effectively planning water distribution, mitigation of water wastage (NRW), and to improve consumer billing.
“Having worked on multiple such projects in the past 10 years, both with mechanical water meters and smart devices, we understand the nuances of this technology spectrum and how critical it is to have a stable and reliable network partner for the success of such projects,” said Shishir Thakur, chief technology officer, Cranberry Analytics.
“Assuring a regular and long-term supply of potable water to Indian households requires constant monitoring of service level indicators”
“Since SenRa is one of the very few network providers in India which has worked on LoRaWan-related products extensively and has a good presence in the region, we have chosen to partner with them for this project.”
The Panaji smart city project is the latest in a number of metering projects which SenRa is actively supporting to improve water sustainability in India. SenRa’s commercial grade public network is currently connecting tens of thousands of smart meters in smart cities, smart societies, and industrial facilities across India.

“Assuring a regular and long-term supply of potable water to Indian households requires constant monitoring of service level indicators,” said Kush Mishra, chief technology and chief operating officer, SenRa. “We are excited to partner with Cranberry Analytics and utilise our expertise in LoRaWan-based metering systems to solve this problem with reliable LoRaWan network services.”

SenRa, a member of the LoRa Alliance, is deploying LPWans throughout India for projects which require secure, reliable, long-distance communication at low cost.
It recently launched an internet of things network planning and survey software, Netsy, which is designed to support LoRaWan deployments for both public and private networks SenRa also offers smart solutions and data analytics services leveraging its IoT analytics platform, Ginjer.
