What the index is, how UARL is calculated, a worked example, and the systems where it does not apply.https://www.divako.io/resources/lorawan-vs-nb-iot-for-metering/https://www.divako.io/resources/lorawan-vs-nb-iot-for-metering/Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000Technologyinfo@divako.io (Rauno Avel)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.https://www.divako.io/resources/non-revenue-water-for-municipalities/https://www.divako.io/resources/non-revenue-water-for-municipalities/Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000Industryinfo@divako.io (Rauno Avel)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.https://www.divako.io/resources/remote-readable-meters-for-housing/https://www.divako.io/resources/remote-readable-meters-for-housing/Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000IndustryRemote-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.https://www.divako.io/resources/divako-product-update-summer-2026/https://www.divako.io/resources/divako-product-update-summer-2026/Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000ProductThe 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.https://www.divako.io/resources/stavanger-smart-water-metering/https://www.divako.io/resources/stavanger-smart-water-metering/Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000Newsinfo@divako.io (Aleksander Wærness-Vold)Norway's energy capital signs a framework agreement for remote-read water metering on Divako – choosing an open, vendor-neutral platform that keeps data ownership and hardware choice in the municipality's hands. Phase one swaps ~3,000 mechanical meters and adds 2,300 smart units, with room to scale past 50,000 homes.https://www.divako.io/resources/hamar-ringsaker-smart-water-metering/https://www.divako.io/resources/hamar-ringsaker-smart-water-metering/Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000Newsinfo@divako.io (Aleksander Wærness-Vold)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.https://www.divako.io/resources/norges-smarteste-industribedrift-2026/https://www.divako.io/resources/norges-smarteste-industribedrift-2026/Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000NewsAn 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.https://www.divako.io/resources/zone-water-meters-catch-loss-early/https://www.divako.io/resources/zone-water-meters-catch-loss-early/Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000Technologyinfo@divako.io (Rauno Avel)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.https://www.divako.io/resources/divako-launches-in-poland/https://www.divako.io/resources/divako-launches-in-poland/Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000NewsOur first market launch outside the Nordics.
