Explore the power of LoRaWAN with B METERS UK

The LoRaWAN® specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery-operated ‘things’ to the internet in regional, national or global networks and targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility and localisation services.

LoRa acts in the free sub-gigahertz band, mainly 868 MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (North and South America), and allows transmission in the order of 10+ kilometers. The structure of the network provides the existence of at least one LoRa gateway covering a wide area, able to manage thousands of endpoints (meters, waste bins, street lights, parking sensors, etc.), collecting data from them and uploading it to the cloud.

Over the LoRa physical layer enabling the long-range communication, an upper layer was developed to manage the connection between gateways and end nodes. This is the LoRaWAN standard, and it’s elected as an interoperability prerequisite for an endpoint as well as for the gateways to be able to operate together even if produced by different manufacturers. That’s the starting point for an integrated IoT network, including several types of devices.

B METERS chose LoRa as a promising technology to be used for water metering, and from early 2018 we joined the LoRa Alliance (an association of manufacturers of connected devices using the LoRaWAN standard).

All the modules are LoRaWAN compliant and allow our client to jump on LoRa World easily by adding an add-on module on the dial of our meters or choosing a model with a LoRa module already integrated.
