What is the Best Wireless Communication for Monitoring household water usage?

We wanted to create a prepaid water system in which we would be sending data in a high data rate (maybe 1 per minute) to the Main system, we are preparing this to be implemented to thousands of homes. we thought that the best solution is the GSM although we have to pay the provider network. I actually wanted to know what are your thoughts about wireless communication. we also wanted it to be more install-able and doesn't require that much devices to be added to each household.





Thanks in advance!What is the Best Wireless Communication for Monitoring household water usage?
You may want to consider a Zigbee network node for each home and a central GSM node every few dozen (or possibly more) houses to communicate with the main system. Zigbee has the advantage of "self-healing" if it is disrupted.What is the Best Wireless Communication for Monitoring household water usage?
