NOWi Sensors Featured by Nordic Semiconductor: Powering Next-Gen Leak Detection with nRF9151 Cellular IoT

We're excited to announce that Nordic Semiconductor has featured NOWi Sensors in a new article highlighting how our ultra-low-power water monitoring solutions help property owners detect leaks early, save water, and avoid expensive damage.

Our Pipe Monitor uses advanced ultrasonic clamp-on technology to attach directly to pipes—including risers and branch lines—pinpointing leaks precisely without any invasive work. The Meter Monitor connects non-invasively to your building's utility water meter, tracking total flow in real time and alerting you to abnormal patterns that signal leaks or inefficiencies.

These battery-powered sensors deliver dependable, always-on monitoring with exceptional battery life—thanks to Nordic's nRF9151 System-in-Package, which enables extended performance even with data-intensive algorithms. As NOWi Co-Founder Charles Fayal shared in the feature:

“With the PSM (Smart Power Saving Mode) we get from Nordic, we can now achieve 100% power saving mode, and the sensors last almost twice as long. [...] The nRF9151 is an amazing chip. Being smaller and cheaper makes it obviously appealing.”

For property managers and owners, this means:

  • Early leak detection to prevent water damage and reduce repair costs
  • Real-time usage insights to cut waste, lower utility bills, and support sustainability goals
  • Simple, fast installation — no plumbing alterations, no WiFi dependency
  • Proven results across multifamily buildings, universities, industrial sites, and more

This recognition from Nordic underscores the real-world impact of our solutions in helping properties operate more efficiently and responsibly.
