Water level sensor for hard-to-reach locations
The water level sensor monitors water and fill levels at hard-to-reach locations wirelessly via Narrowband IoT. Fully sealed, reliable even in flooding, with proactive alerting.

- Sealed even in flooding
- Automatic alerting
Why the water level sensor
Water levels in view, without a site visit
Hard-to-reach manholes make water level monitoring labour-intensive. The water level sensor monitors wirelessly, reports critical values automatically and so saves staff and journeys.
Wireless via NB-IoT
Transmission runs directly over the mobile network. No power and no data cables to the sensor, usable even where no infrastructure exists.
Sealed even in flooding
Fully sealed components for extreme outdoor conditions. The sensor keeps working instead of failing exactly when it is needed most.
More than just water level
Besides fill levels, depending on configuration the sensor captures temperatures, pressures, meter readings or access events. One system for several tasks.
Self-sufficient operation
No fixed power or data cables required. The time-consuming, labour-intensive site visits that conventional technology needs are no longer necessary.
Analogue and digital
Values can be output as analogue and/or digital signals and brought together on the data platform.
Proactive alerting
If a threshold is exceeded or undershot, the system automatically triggers a notification, immediately rather than at the next inspection round.

Operating principle
Measuring wirelessly, reporting automatically
The sensor transmits its measured values via Narrowband IoT directly over the mobile network. This makes installation simple and allows use even where no infrastructure exists. The values come together on the data platform.
- 01
Measuring
The sealed sensor measures the water or fill level, and depending on configuration also temperature, pressure or meter readings.
- 02
Transmitting
The values go via NB-IoT over the mobile network to the data platform, with no fixed cabling at all.
- 03
Alerting
If a stored threshold is exceeded or undershot, the system automatically triggers a notification.
Simulation
When the water level rises critically
As long as the water level stays within range, the platform reports nothing. Simulate a rising water level: once the value reaches the alarm threshold, the status changes and an automatic alert is triggered.

The difference
Conventional technology versus the water level sensor
Conventional technology
- Often fails during flooding because it is not fully waterproof
- Requires regular, labour-intensive site visits
- Power source needs to be replaced
- Fixed power and data cables required
Water level sensor from Infrasolute
- Keeps working reliably even during flooding
- Self-sufficient, no fixed cables, less staff effort
- Wireless transmission via NB-IoT
- Proactive alerting for critical water levels
