We warmly invite you to visit us at Hall 1, Booth C3 & C4 from February 9-13, 2026, at AfWASA Congress 2026 in Yaoundé.

As water utilities accelerate their digital transformation and smart water modernization, LAISON is committed to enabling more efficient, data-driven, and sustainable operations. Join us to explore how we can work together to build smarter networks, improve visibility, and create long-term operational value.

At AfWASA Congress 2026, we will present our end-to-end, result-oriented comprehensive solutions, including: Smart Meters, Communication technologies (LoRa/LoRaWAN/GPRS/CAT.1/NB-IoT/Sigfox), Digital Software Systems, Innovative Financing Models, aiming to improve cash flow, enhance operational efficiency, reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW), and improve customer satisfaction.

Global Launch: The First White Paper of “Metering as a Service”

We will officially release the first White Paper of“ Metering as a Service (MaaS)” at the exhibition. By deeply integrating technology, financing, and services, MaaS enables a paradigm shift from "Product/Tool Delivery" to "Result/Value Delivery." Specifically designed for water utilities in developing regions, MaaS addresses key challenges such as capital shortages, high water loss rate, and inefficient operations. The model supports utilities in achieving infrastructure digitalization, improving cash flow cycles, and reducing NRW.

Key Benefits of MaaS:

• Improve revenue, profit & cash flow
• Convert high CapEx into predictable OpEx
• Enable financing through ecosystem collaboration
• Guarantee NRW reduction & billing improvement via KPI-based services
• Build local capacity through training & knowledge transfer
• Deliver scalable, financially sustainable smart water systems

New Product Highlight

We will showcase our 2nd Generation Ultrasonic Smart Meter, featuring:

• Brass/Plastic Measuring Part, DN15-DN20
• High Accuracy, R400
• Support LoRa and LoRaWAN Dual-mode
          LoRaWAN Gateway AMI for areas with concentrated households
          LoRa Walk-by AMR as a complementary solution for areas with dispersed households
• Support Standard LoRaWAN Communication Protocol
• Automatic daily data upload for analysis
• 10 years Hourly/Monthly consumption data storage in meter
• Large battery capacity, 8.5Ah, 8+ years battery lifespan, replaceable
• IP 68 suitable for outdoor installations

Also, we provide Multi-Jet domestic water meter, Woltman/Ultrasonic bulk water meter, and Electromagnetic Flow Meters, etc., covering sizes from DN15 to DN1200 to meet diverse application scenarios.

New Upgraded: LAISON Hardware and Data Management System (HDMS) 2.0 version

The new HDMS 2.0 version delivers enhanced functionality:

• Revenue Protection: Flexible prepaid & postpaid models accelerate collections, reduce arrears, and secure stable cash flow
• Digital Operations: Real-time work order & maintenance tracking for full meter lifecycle visibility and higher service efficiency
• High Capacity: Connect and manage millions of devices on one unified platform
• Flexible Meter Reading: Supports high-frequency collection, and online/offline meter reading to adapt to any network environment
• Actionable Insights: Customizable dashboards and reports transform data into insights for faster, smarter decision-making

Meet LAISON at AfWASA Congress 2026 to discover how smart metering and IoT data solutions can drive your utility's digital transition.
