Climate-driven flooding is rising rapidly, making real-time monitoring essential for urban resilience and infrastructure protection. This article explores how LPWAN technologies like NB-IoT and LoRaWAN, combined with advanced radar sensors and edge intelligence, enable long-range, low-power flood monitoring with autonomous response capabilities—improving disaster prevention and reducing risk in critical environments.

Traditional wastewater monitoring is often reactive, leading to costly overflows and environmental hazards. By harnessing IoT-integrated sensors, municipalities can now transition to a proactive stance. These smart systems provide real-time data on manhole and wastewater levels, enabling teams to detect blockages or surge events before they escalate. With long-range connectivity and low-power consumption, IoT is transforming aging infrastructure into a responsive, digital net

Flood monitoring and road safety are the core of the Ellenex infrastructure strategy. Utilizing the Radar Sensor DRC3, authorities gain high-precision visibility that remains accurate during extreme storms. This technology enables automated perception networks where sensors talk directly to road signs, removing human error from emergency response. Proactive monitoring of rivers and dams ensures safety and keeps drivers out of harm's way.

The modernization of wastewater and stormwater infrastructure is becoming a defining challenge for rapidly urbanizing cities. Traditional manhole monitoring—reliant on manual inspections—remains inefficient, costly, and prone to failure, often leading to unexpected overflows and environmental hazards. Smart manhole monitoring systems, powered by advanced sensors and LPWAN connectivity, are transforming this paradigm. By enabling continuous, real-time visibility into undergro

California's water infrastructure is older than my grandpa! LPWAN solutions Enhance Infrastructure Performance, if designed properly, integrate to the legacy systems carefully and deployed in consideration of current and future requirements.

An IP68-rated solution to monitor lever, temperature, and humidity in manhole

Ellenex sensors help cities and utilities monitor underground assets—stormwater channels, manholes, and pipelines—with near real-time level (PL series) and pressure (PT series) data. Remote monitoring and predictive analytics enable earlier flood/overflow detection, better maintenance planning, and more resilient smart-city water and wastewater infrastructure.
