Australian IoT company Freestyle Technology (FST) will supply  the South Korean Municipality of Gimje with a smart water IoT (Internet of Things) platform comprising smart meters, wireless communications, end to end visibility of all water assets, improved leak detection, and automated meter reading.

FST is an Australian innovator in Enterprise and Government that is focused on deploying IoT solutions in the essential services sector of water, gas and electricity networks.
