Real-World Case Studies

Case Study 1 – United States: Smart Water Meter Pilot (Texas)

A municipal utility in Texas deployed NBIoTPro NB-IoT development kits to test remote water consumption meters. Within three months, they achieved real-time reporting, early leak detection, and a 20% reduction in water loss.

Case Study 2 – United States: Cold Chain Monitoring (California)

A food logistics company integrated our evaluation kits into their refrigerated fleet to track temperature-sensitive goods. The result was a 99.6% delivery success rate and full regulatory compliance across all shipping lanes.

Case Study 3 – Canada: Smart Parking Infrastructure (Ontario)

A Canadian smart city initiative utilized our NB-IoT development boards for pilot-testing real-time parking occupancy sensors. The pilot led to a 40% reduction in traffic congestion in downtown areas and a 25% increase in parking space utilization.
