Overview
- The T-Mobile and FCS partnership is now live with acoustic sensors deployed across U.S. water systems to detect leaks in real time.
- Sensors attach externally to clean-water pipes and listen for distinctive leak signals before triggering alerts.
- Leak alerts are transmitted instantly over T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G-enabled IoT network, covering urban, remote and rugged areas.
- Utilities replace labor-intensive hydrant checks and digging with automated notifications that guide faster repairs.
- By targeting aging infrastructure responsible for over 33 trillion gallons of annual treated water loss, the system aims to cut repair costs and conserve resources.
