LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, or Wireless M-BUS? We will help you choose the right wireless technology for your project.
LoRaWAN is a wireless network with very long range (units to tens of kilometres) and extremely low power consumption. It operates in the licence-free 868 MHz band, so there are no operator fees — you can build your own network or use a public one.
The ideal choice for wide-area deployment of many sensors: agriculture, smart cities, building monitoring or large sites. Batteries typically last 5–10 years.
NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) uses the licensed bands of mobile operators. It offers nearly 100% coverage in the Czech Republic and excellent signal penetration into buildings, basements and shafts — where ordinary networks fail.
The device communicates via a SIM card, with no need to build your own infrastructure. A great choice for remote meter readings in apartment buildings, basement monitoring and stationary sensors anywhere within mobile coverage.
Wireless M-BUS (WMBUS) is the European standard for wireless meter reading — water meters, gas meters, heat meters. It operates at 868 MHz with short range (tens to hundreds of metres) and minimal consumption.
WMBUS meters broadcast data that is collected by our gateway and forwarded over LPWAN to a higher-level system. The standard is supported by most European meter manufacturers — ideal for bulk readouts in apartment buildings.
