Water Management

Reliable drinking water supply and wastewater services are essential for the functioning of modern society. Their communication systems must operate continuously – often unnoticed, but always dependable. Water utilities face a unique combination of challenges: geographically dispersed facilities across large areas, ageing infrastructure, strict regulation and growing demands for security, efficiency and resilience.
Since its foundation, RACOM has been a trusted partner for water utilities around the world, delivering secure wireless communication solutions for monitoring, control and early warning systems that protect both critical infrastructure and the public.

RACOM’s Expertise in Water Management

Water utility applications were among the first sectors where RACOM radio modems were deployed. As a result, we bring more than 30 years of experience and practical know-how from this environment.

Like other critical infrastructure sectors, water utilities demand the highest standards of reliability, security and long-term device availability, supported by regular security software updates.

Because RACOM develops and manufactures its technology entirely in-house, we are able to meet these requirements without compromise. In the Czech Republic, we often install communication networks for water utilities ourselves, giving us direct field experience and valuable feedback from operators and system integrators. This ensures our solutions consistently meet the real-world expectations of critical infrastructure operators.
