Water technology services company Idrica has been awarded, as part of a joint venture that includes telecom company Orange and six other firms, a Red.es project that aims to apply 5G technology to the management of the integral water cycle.

Initially, the project will focus on Valencia and includes a use case associated with the management of the water cycle led by IDRICA.

In addition to Idrica and Orange, the companies Vision, Robotnik, CFZ Cobots, Retit, Arborea and Etra are participating in the joint venture. The project has just started to operate, in October 2020.

"We are proud to be able to give Spain an important boost in the adaptation of 5G technology in such a critical aspect as the integral water cycle," explained Chema Nebot, director of Business Development at Idrica.

The project includes the implementation of one of the most relevant contributions that 5G provides: MIoT (Massive Internet of Things), which allows to connect and manage a large number of devices connected to the network.
