LoRaWAN vs NB-IoT: which network for your meters? - Divako
Build your own LoRaWAN network, or put a SIM in every meter and ride NB-IoT? The honest answer for most utilities is both – but the split should be a deliberate decision per area, not an accident of procurement.
Where did the water go? Non-revenue water for municipalities - Divako
Every water network loses water – the question is how much, and where. With the EU's Drinking Water Directive turning leakage into a reportable number, the water balance is moving from an annual estimate to an operational tool.
Remote-readable meters in apartment buildings: why housing associations are switching - Divako
Remote-readable meters have become one of the fastest-spreading upgrades in apartment buildings. The reasons are practical: a 2027 EU deadline for heat and hot water, a main-meter gap that quietly costs the co-op money, and leaks caught the same day instead of on the next bill.

The highlights from Divako 2.19 and 2.20: major speed gains on city-scale projects, a LoRaWAN network that watches and heals itself, smarter water-loss detection, analyses that find the anomalies for you, and AI access to your metering data.

Hamar and Ringsaker digitalise water metering on Divako - Divako
Two neighbouring Innlandet municipalities unite on one platform. Phase one swaps roughly 25,000 mechanical meters for Apator ultrasonic remote-read units – with leak, backflow, tamper and frost alerts feeding straight into billing for 69,000+ residents.
A Divako-powered finalist for Norway's Smartest Industrial Company 2026 - Divako
An operation running on the Divako platform was named one of three finalists for Norges smarteste industribedrift 2026 – Norway's Smartest Industrial Company – alongside Elkem and Norsk Kylling.
Zone water meters: catching loss before it hurts - Divako
Most water leaves the pipe long before it shows up on a bill. Zone-level metering breaks a network into measurable districts so the first signs of loss are visible in days, not quarters.
