Case Study: Aqwastream achieves 24/7 uninterrupted connectivity for smart water stations with Cradlepoint COR Series and NetCloud Manager

Aqwastream® Relies on Cradlepoint to Keep its Smart Plastic-Bottle-Saving Water Stations Online 24/7

Aqwastream, a Scottsdale-based company that installs ARIS (Aqwastream Refill Information Station) kiosks to reduce plastic-bottle waste on college campuses, needed uninterrupted wireless connectivity to keep its video displays, sensors and integrated circuits online and reporting. After evaluating vendors and consulting carrier partners, Aqwastream chose Cradlepoint and deployed Cradlepoint COR Series routers with Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager for cellular 3G/4G/LTE networking and centralized management.

Cradlepoint’s COR Series and NetCloud Manager provided constant connections so ARIS units can deliver real-time analytics, tally bottles saved, monitor filtration and temperature, and trigger automatic leak shutoffs and service alerts—resulting in virtually no downtime. Cradlepoint also enables data-usage monitoring and limits to prevent costly overages and supplies responsive technical support, helping Aqwastream reliably scale its kiosks across campuses.
