The future of water monitoring and management
cura: to watch with care
The fully integrated NB-IoT digital meter delivering rich, customisable data points and built in alarms.
Improve customer experience with granular data to detect customer leaks and reduce bill shock
Future-proof with LwM2M open standard protocol, no proprietary software, no vendor lock-in and IoT platform choice
Longevity with two-way communication, remote configuration and firmware updates to prevent stranded assets
Ultrasonic technology allows the Curaᵀᴹ meter to detect leaks at low flows, and sustain accuracy over time.
Curaᵀᴹ meters feature ten in-built configurable alarms to deliver information to operators and customers at the optimal time.
Featuring two internal batteries, the Curaᵀᴹ meter provides a guaranteed 15-year battery life.
Optimse capacity with remote over-the-air firmware updates. Open standard LwM2M over NB-IoT prevents vendor lock-in. NB-IoT network is a secure licensed spectrum.
Fully integrated to reduce risk of device damage and ensure payload data matches readings. Stores ten days of data and is highly resilient to network disruptions.
Configure and manage devices remotely to reduce the lifetime cost of device management, and minimise the risk of stranded assets.
Curaᵀᴹ meters include water flow, temperature and tamper sensors as standard, with additional pressure sensors available for integration at the manufacturing stage.
Utilities require high quality, reliable and up-to-date data for their operations. Curaᵀᴹ gathers data and facilitates advanced use cases – including customer leak detection, visibility of daily usage at a customisable interval level, pressure fluctuation alarms, device and network data points, accurate billing and pressure monitoring for managing network-wide health.
Deploy with the Lentic® IoT Platform, to operationalise in-field data and provide actionable insights to the right teams, at the right time

View the webinar on demand between South East Water, Sydney Water, City West Water and Water Corporation. An insightful conversation and thoughtful conversation on the state of digital metering.
SWAN Asia Pacific Smart Metering Online Event – Iota CEO, Daniel Sullivan shares lessons learnt from the rollout of digital meters at South East Water,
Mikala Hehir, General Manager of Customer and Community at South East Water, explains how new digital meters and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms are helping to identify water leaks, saving customers water and money, and protecting a critical resource
Beyond meter reading webinar recording. Hosted by: Daniel Sullivan, CEO Iota. The conversation was candid, insightful and thought provoking, watch it above if you missed it live.
Iota proudly acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live, and pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge their songlines, cultural lore and continuing connection to the land and water. We recognise and value the rich cultural heritage and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal people and communities to our society across Australia.
