Qonnectics launches remote monitoring system at IWEX 2005
Qonnectis plc (“Qonnectis”), the natural resources efficiency company, will be launching a new solution for the environmental market at IWEX 2005, the UK’s biennial exhibition for the water and utilities industry, to be held at the NEC in Birmingham from the 18th to 20th October.

The iStaQ-AL is a specialist data logger that can connect to any type of sensor (e.g. pressure, temperature, water quality or river level sensors). It provides remote water metering and data monitoring for water leaks, flood alerts and water quality, including the identification of water-borne diseases (e.g. Legionella). Qonnectis collects the data remotely using wireless communications and manages the data on behalf of the customer, delivering the information either via a secure website or via transmission to third party analytical applications. Intelligent alerts mean that customers are informed immediately of any problems via email or direct to their mobile phones.

Michael Tapia, Chief Executive, Qonnectis plc, commented:
"The iStaQ-AL broadens our potential market substantially, whilst complementing our existing product range. The environmental market is growing rapidly, with all operators coming under increasing pressure to optimise their networks and to ensure the highest standards of water quality.” “We believe our technology represents the most effective way of providing real-time monitoring, delivering tangible cost savings and efficiencies for utilities and major commercial water users alike.”
