When Metasphere looked for a sensor to use in their product Sense Level, they had high requirements on power consumption, accuracy and size. Given the nature of water supply and sewer infrastructure environments, the solution had to be able to withstand tough conditions in terms of exposure to water and temperature levels. The total cost of ownership should be minimized through a simple installation process and over-the-air remote management and firmware upgrades.

Acconeer Metasphere - Sense Level IoT Sensor for Wastewater Monitoring
Metasphere's Sense Level is an IoT-connected level sensor designed for use in challenging environments and remote locations where wastewater monitoring is crucial. It integrates the Acconeer A1 radar sensor, enabling it to accurately measure water levels, even in adverse conditions involving water exposure and varying temperatures. The device leverages low power technology along with multi-band NB-IoT/Cat-M1 capabilities to offer a long service life and minimize the total cost of ownership. Its application improves the ability of utilities and agencies to predict and manage potential wastewater blockages and flooding risks by integrating sewer level measurements with rainfall data. This proactive approach to monitoring not only prevents flooding but also avoids extensive damage to sewer infrastructure, which otherwise could lead to wastewater spills or system collapse. Metasphere's focus continues to be on delivering cost-effective telemetry solutions by using state-of-the-art technology for sustainable water resource management.
