Water companies face the challenge of delivering significant outcomes within tight timeframes, making robust connectivity more crucial than ever. Experts agree that reliable connectivity is vital to the future of UK utilities, serving as the backbone for innovation and enabling smarter, more efficient operations.
of utility leaders strongly agree that connectivity for operational technology is a critical foundation for smart network operations
But leaders lack connectivity confidence
But there’s a gap. While water company leaders recognise the need for connectivity in their smart operations, they often lack the confidence to implement it effectively and are missing valuable expertise and resources.

The biggest obstacle to successful AMP8 smart operations is overcoming this connectivity gap
Technology, connectivity, and data decisions are all interconnected. Your technology is only effective if it’s transmitting data, and that data is only valuable if it’s highly accurate, reliable, and consistently available. For that, you need strong, robust connectivity. For successful programme rollouts that meet targets, water companies must close the connectivity gap.
“It is crucial that companies look after their water and wastewater networks responsibly, and provide resilient services in the short and long term…There are real opportunities to improve operation and maintenance through innovation, such as by using smart networks, artificial intelligence, and open data.”
