One we missed, from late February: Spanish water company Aqualia has appointed Vodafone on a 10-year deal to automate and manage its advanced meter infrastructure, with a view to supply more than one million NB-IoT smart meters over the first five years of the contract. The deal, it seems, is a formal extension of an existing contract, which has seen Vodafone connect 250,000 meters to its NB-IoT network in Spain since late 2022. The pair said they will deliver an automated remote “tele-reading” service to more than three million users in Spain over the “coming years”.
