Geoff Engelstein of Mars International brings his tech experience to The Water Values Podcast for a discussion on how the internet of things (IOT) affects the water sector and where he thinks the IOT will affect the water sector. Many of us have heard of the IOT but not many have a great handle on its significance. Geoff explains what IOT is, how it is used in the water sector, and what applications make sense for its future use in the water sector. It’s a great crash course discussion for those who aren’t immersed in water technology issues.
In this session, you’ll learn about:
- Geoff’s background as an electrical engineer
- What the IOT is
- How water utilities are using IOT
- The benefits of water utilities using IOT
- What’s the lowest hanging fruit for IOT efficiency
- The different networks water utilities can use for an IOT system
- Cost trends for IOT networks
- Cybersecurity and IOT issues for the water sector
- Geoff’s advice for getting started in water IOT
