Every year, the American Water Works Association’s conference and expo
brings together experts from around the globe to share ideas about water
management, infrastructure and technology.
This year, the annual conference and exposition (or ACE) is happening in
Philadelphia, and Mars and ciqada are pleased to be a part of it.
We’ll be among the exhibitors at the event, telling the world how ciqada’s
Internet of Things solution can offer a bridge between IoT and water
management:
IoT infrastructure including cellular hardware modules and gateways with
integrated cloud server for data monitoring and control
Custom analytics and data mining via API
Sensor technology and hardware integration services available to meet the
needs of a specific system.
The conference kicks off June 11 at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
And while we’re hoping you’ll visit us – we’re at booth 1215 on the
convention floor, we thought we’d share some of the highlights of this
year’s ACE.
