Utility Management
This presentation will focus on available technologies commonly used in the industry today and then present a clear, up‑to‑date, evidence‑based comparison of current AI technologies and satellite technologies as they apply to the water industry and how they can provide a better ROI and easier operation to manage your utility. Satellite systems—especially those using 915 and L‑band synthetic aperture radar (SAR)—have become powerful tools for utility monitoring. Detect underground leaks Provide wide‑area monitoring across entire service territories without needing physical access to infrastructure Strengths Massive geographic coverage Works in remote or inaccessible areas Excellent for early leak detection and risk assessment AI—especially machine learning and deep learning—has become the “brain” that interprets sensor, satellite, and operational data. Predict failures by learning patterns that precede leaks, pressure drops, or equipment failures.
