DynaSys Networks and HEXING Group Partner to Advance Global Smart Water Metering marks one of the most significant IoT-utility alliances to emerge from Pakistan’s technology sector this year. The two firms have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly build, market and deploy next-generation smart water metering systems.
The deal brings together DynaSys, Pakistan’s leading LPWAN IoT network operator, and HEXING, a globally recognised smart green energy hardware manufacturer. Their combined footprint stretches from Rawalpindi to operations spanning more than ninety countries worldwide.
What the DynaSys-HEXING Smart Water Metering Deal Covers
The MoU commits both companies to jointly explore, develop, market and deploy smart water metering solutions across four regions: Pakistan, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. It builds on an existing working relationship between the two firms.
The partnership pairs HEXING’s hardware manufacturing scale with DynaSys’s IoT and AI platforms. Together, the companies say the collaboration targets end-to-end utility solutions built around three goals:
- Optimizing water distribution networks in real time
- Minimizing non-revenue water (NRW) losses
- Promoting long-term resource sustainability across served regions
Inside DynaSys Networks’ IoT and AIoT Capabilities
DynaSys Networks operates as Pakistan’s leading LPWAN network operator, developing Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence for IoT (AIoT) solutions. The company has built a track record of large-scale infrastructure partnerships across telecom, satellite and utility sectors.

DynaSys has previously signed MoUs with Disrupt-X, Intel and APPLIOT Global targeting flood monitoring, smart cities and satellite-enabled IoT expansion. Its LoRaWAN network already underpins a separate plan to connect up to 40 million smart water meters across Pakistan by 2040.
HEXING Group’s Global Smart Metering Footprint
HEXING is a Shanghai Stock Exchange-listed manufacturer founded in 1992, producing smart electricity meters, water meters, distribution automation systems and green-energy equipment. It serves clients in more than 90 countries through 15 manufacturing centres worldwide.
The company operates dedicated smart water metering divisions and has active manufacturing hubs in China, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa and Romania. That manufacturing depth is central to what DynaSys gains from this alliance — proven hardware at global scale.
Why Non-Revenue Water Is Pakistan’s Growing Crisis
Water loss is a measurable problem in Pakistan, not a hypothetical one. Independent research bodies have tracked a sharp decline in national water security over recent decades, giving this partnership real urgency.
Key figures framing the crisis:
- Pakistan’s annual per capita water availability fell from roughly 5,600 cubic metres in 1947 to about 930 cubic metres in 2023, per WWF-Pakistan
- Between 35% and 40% of piped water is lost to leakages and theft, according to the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics
- The International Organization for Migration projects Pakistan could face absolute water scarcity by 2035
Executive Reactions to the Partnership
Ali Akhtar, Founder and CEO of DynaSys Networks, framed the deal as a shift from reactive to proactive utility management. He said connected sensors combined with AI let utilities “detect leaks earlier, optimize water distribution, reduce energy consumption, improve billing accuracy” and deliver more reliable service.
Leo Xu, Region CEO of HEXING Group, called the expanded relationship with DynaSys “an exciting step forward” in modernizing global utility networks, pointing specifically to talks around a joint assembly line and service facility inside Pakistan.
Regional Rollout: Pakistan, Africa, Middle East, Central Asia
The MoU’s four-region scope signals ambitions well beyond Pakistan’s borders. Africa and Central Asia both face comparable water-infrastructure gaps, while Gulf utilities have shown strong appetite for smart metering upgrades tied to sustainability mandates.
Region | Relevance to the Partnership |
|---|---|
| Pakistan | Home market; DynaSys’s core LoRaWAN infrastructure already deployed |
| Africa | HEXING’s existing manufacturing base (South Africa) supports rollout |
| Middle East | Strong utility digitization demand; DynaSys already active via UAE operations |
| Central Asia | Emerging smart-infrastructure market with limited current competition |
Revenue Targets and the 2035 Deployment Milestone
Both companies have set a concrete commercial benchmark rather than a vague ambition. The joint target: activating hundreds of thousands of smart water meters by December 31, 2035.
That milestone is projected to generate shared revenues exceeding USD 10 million. Reaching a Definitive Agreement is the next formal step, after which full-scale commercial deployment across the four target regions can begin.
What This Means for the Smart Utility Industry
This MoU adds to a fast-growing list of DynaSys partnerships targeting Pakistan’s infrastructure gaps, but its multi-region scope is new. Pairing a regional IoT operator with a top-five global metering manufacturer is a template other emerging markets may watch closely.
For utilities battling water loss and revenue leakage, the underlying pitch is straightforward: better hardware plus better data equals fewer losses. Whether that translates into a signed Definitive Agreement and real meters in the ground will be the real test.
