Creating a smart city using IoT networks and smart metering
Digitalization in urban management is on the rise and cities as well as communities are increasingly seeking to implement smart city solutions to better manage and analyze resources. In our latest white paper, we show use cases for different devices – going beyond only water and energy management and explain what it takes to successfully transform into a smart city.
More sustainability and cost reduction through smart metering
Improving the billing process by getting up-to-date and reliable data from your meters is no longer the only goal when speaking of smart networks. Reaching sustainability goals and the responsible consumption of resources gets more and more into focus. By implementing IoT in urban infrastructure, cities can optimize resource management and are able to detect losses and anomalies in the network much faster, which automatically leads to cost reductions.
The white paper “Smart Metering: Using IoT networks to build smart cities” will give you more insights about:
- Challenges in smart city projects – and how to overcome them
- The role of IoT networks and the importance of interoperability
- How smart cities positively influence life in urban areas
- Use cases to build an interoperable IoT network that matches your individual needs
MULTI-CONNECTIVITY AS KEY FOR A SMART CITY
The increasing demand for digitalization in many cities initially came from utilities, looking for solutions to easily collect data from water and energy meters. Not only to simplify the billing process, but to monitor and control their network.
To help our customers reach this goal and improve their internal processes, we developed IZAR IoT GATEWAY Premium, the first outdoor gateway able to connect up to 100,000 meter points to a single interoperable network. With multi-connectivity as key factor for a smart city, the gateway enables our customers to manage their meters and sensors - independently of the manufacturer.
Using IoT networks offers almost infinite possibilities to build smart cities. We will see an increasing number of smart metering projects in the next years – now is the time to start with digitalizing your networks.

Explore the Future of Smart Cities
Urbanization is accelerating, and cities must adapt to meet new challenges in economic, social, and environmental spheres. Our whitepaper provides an in-depth look at how smart technology can enhance city infrastructure and improve efficiency and sustainability. By leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities collect and analyze data from interconnected devices, enabling better resource management and service delivery.
The whitepaper discusses the role of data-driven intelligence in smart cities, focusing on the essential things to act on and examples of use cases to implement in a smart network. These advancements help reduce costs, minimize waste, and promote sustainability, contributing to a better quality of life for residents.
