Development of cellular technologies to help water utilities in Cincinnati is underway | Water Technology
CINCINNATI, Ohio — These cellular technologies will help water utilities improve water quality, receive reliable information and manage water resources in the city of Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Ohio — Qualcomm Incorporated announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies Inc., CH2M HILL and the city of Cincinnati have been collaborating with the intent to develop sustainable connectivity solutions leveraging machine to machine (M2M) cellular technologies that will help water utilities improve water quality, receive reliable information and manage water resources in the city of Cincinnati, according to a press release.
Providing a safe, reliable water supply is one of the critical drivers of health and economic success. Global water consumption has tripled in the past 50 years creating one of the most critical natural resources constraints in the world, noted the release.
“Improving water infrastructure and distribution management is an important part of Qualcomm Technologies’ Smart Cities and Internet of Everything vision,” said Peggy Johnson, EVP and president of Global Market Development, Qualcomm Technologies Inc. “Our technology teams have been working to solve both connectivity and communications challenges that are unique to water resource management systems by enabling solutions that are secure, reliable and support long battery life operation. Our collaboration with CH2M HILL demonstrates our commitment to utilize our robust wireless technologies to provide connectivity solutions to enable Smarter Cities.”
The city of Cincinnati awarded CH2M HILL a Water Technology Innovation project to design and implement an Integrated Water Connectivity Solution for sustainable water resource management.
The solution will enable Cincinnati to collect actionable information from its water system in a timely manner to improve water quality and facilitate the management of its water resources, stated the release.

Kerry Animal Health & Nutrition and Agrivida have formed a strategic partnership providing Kerry with rights to promote Agrivida’s pioneering GRAINZYME Phytase technology for poultry use for the U.S. market.
Agrivida’s GRAINZYME Phytase utilizes a groundbreaking, innovative process to produce phytase inside corn kernels. By simply replacing a small amount of regular corn with GRAINZYME Phytase corn, poultry producers can conveniently and easily introduce phytase into the diets of their flocks. With GRAINZYME Phytase, producers can feed their flocks significantly higher and more optimal doses of phytase, and thereby greatly improve their business profitability.
“The benefits of GRAINZYME Phytase have been confirmed in multiple university studies that demonstrate significant poultry performance improvements for flocks fed with GRAINZYME Phytase corn, compared with those fed traditional phytase enzymes. The results also demonstrate significant cost savings per ton of feed when higher doses of phytase were used. We believe GRAINZYME Phytase is a novel solution for poultry producers because it increases the value of their flocks without the need for additional feed space. And there’s no requirement for special processing as the functional benefits are contained in the corn,” said Michael Lanahan, Ph.D., chief commercial officer at Agrivida.
This partnership between Kerry Animal Health & Nutrition and Agrivida brings together two important companies in the animal feed market. Kerry’s AlphaGal is the U.S. market leader for non-starch polysaccharide enzymes used in poultry feed, where it significantly enhances the value of poultry feed by improving digestibility and lowering the cost of feed by facilitating the use of alternative raw materials.
“At Kerry, we are committed to leading our customers to better products and continuing to innovate with high performance nutrition solutions for the animal feed market. Complementing our AlphaGal range and our gut health portfolio, we are excited to bring GRAINZYME Phytase to market reflecting our commitment to cutting-edge science and aligned with our strategy to grow our animal feed business,” said Vilson Simon, global vice president of Kerry Animal Health & Nutrition EUM.
According to Dan Meagher, CEO of Agrivida: “Kerry’s strong reputation and customer marketing strength with their AlphaGal enzyme range make them an ideal business partner for us. Together, this partnership will bring significant new value propositions to the poultry industry.”
