Communications Infrastructure

Choose communication for remote meter readingThe field interface and internet connection should be assessed separately when transferring data from meters to software. M-Bus and LoRaWAN provide different meter/sensor network structures; GSM/4G provides cellular backhaul for a compatible device. These technologies are not directly interchangeable.M-Bus data collectorsFor central reading of meters with wired M-Bus interfaces. Check bus loading, cable layout and polling interval.LoRaWAN gatewayFor forwarding compatible LoRaWAN sensor data to a network server. Verify the regional frequency plan, coverage and network-server compatibility.GSM/4G communicationFor cellular backhaul from the site. Assess operator coverage, SIM/APN, data plan and destination-server settings.M-Bus convertersFor local computer-based reading, review USB/RS232 interfaces and CNV150/CNV250 capacity options.Prepare these details before requesting a quoteProvide meter/sensor makes and models, quantity, existing interface, site and cable layout, destination country, reporting interval and target software.Request a technical project quote
