Phone carriers are responsible for offering a stable network, having plans that are accessible to everyone, and delivering enhanced coverage. But beyond this, the telecom giants have a lot going on in the background. T-Mobile has now announced one such initiative, where it will use its large 5G network to detect any water leaks.
T-Mobile 5G network is listening for water leaks
The telecom giant is partnering with Fluid Conservative System (FCS), which is a veteran in the leak detection industry. The company helps provide smart solutions for “true environmental impact.” T-Mobile has been trying to establish itself widely in varied domains, and this new initiative takes things further in that direction.
The Fluid Conservative System (FCS) has been actively helping water utilities in detecting leaks. The association with T-Mobile’s network will elevate the efforts and take the company’s help in powering the acoustic monitoring systems that come with advanced sensors, which can detect any underground pipe leaks in real time. The system is apparently in use across the US and allows cities to detect and rectify before they become a costly mess.
FCS will tap into T-Mobile’s network
T-Mobile’s network has been ranked the best in the US by Ookla. FCS will look to take advantage of this. This will help it stay ahead of any water leaks by offering real-time information and letting water utilities act on time. This also reduces operating expenses if they’re not addressed promptly.
Beth Powell, president of Fluid Conversation Systems, highlighted how the pipes have aged, and this partnership will detect leaks accurately. Data from the American Society of Civil Engineers suggests that the US loses about 33 trillion gallons of water every year due to deteriorating infrastructure. Amid its data breach settlement, T-Mobile is offering a helping hand in solving this major water problem.
