OVERVIEW
Building on the previous sessions, Part 4 of our Smart Water Networks 101 series focuses on Layer 3: Collection and Communication, the connective tissue of a smart water system.
Layer 3 includes the technologies that collect data from remote assets and transmit it to upper layers for analysis and decision-making. This spans fixed and wireless communication networks such as cable, radio, cellular, and Wi-Fi, as well as the systems that manage secure, reliable data transfer.
With two-way communication, Layer 3 also enables commands to be sent back downstream, ensuring sensors and actuators collect the right data and execute the right actions — making smart water networks responsive and operationally intelligent.
