Data transmission via the Internet of Things with LoRaWAN®
LoRaWAN® is an international, open radio standard, which is continually being developed by the LoRa Alliance®. By using a special modulation procedure (Chirp Spread Spectrum), very long ranges and excellent building penetration can be achieved.
Your benefits of LoRaWAN® solutions
Bidirectional communication, a high level of security through modern encryption technologies and low energy demands make LoRaWAN® the perfect technology for the remote reading of water, heat and cooling energy meters and gas meters. Applications in the fields of Smart Building or Smart City can be implemented with LoRaWAN®:
- Reading of main and sub-metering meters or sensors remotely
- Meter readout without appointments
- Assignment to and billing of consumption of individual metering
- Visualisation of consumption and energy monitoring
- Simplifying the readout of meters in hard-to-reach measuring points
Future-proof metering technology with LoRaWAN®
LoRaWAN® enables you to read data from water, heat and cooling energy and gas meters via a stationary radio system. ZENNER offers you a full range of capable measurement technology and innovative radio modules for all types of meters.
The required network coverage can be cost-effectively deployed through the installation of LoRaWAN® gateways.

Wireless M-Bus Gateway (Solar)
The Lobaro Solar Gateway for Smart Metering enables regular wireless remote reading of consumption meters such as water meters and heat cost allocators using wireless M-Bus (868 MHz, C1/T1, S1 modes) and Sensus RF as well as downstream transmission via NB-IoT, LTE-M mobile radio or LoRaWAN to the Internet. Power is supplied exclusively from the internal solar cell.
Wireless M-Bus Gateway (Ext. Power, top-hat rail)
Remote reading of wireless M-Bus (868 MHz) and Sensus RF consumption meters (e.g. water meters, heat cost allocators) via NB-IoT mobile radio or LoRaWAN. Particularly suitable for frequent meter reading and space-saving installation on a top-hat rail (Din-Rail).
Network as a Service (NaaS)
ZENNER Connect operates a secure LoRaWAN® network for the housing and real estate industry, municipalities, energy suppliers and industrial companies. ZENNER Connect is registered with the Federal Network Agency as a LoRaWAN® network operator. As such, this registration is no longer necessary for our managed services network customers.
Our network availability is growing day by day: We are already present in numerous European countries such as Germany, Austria, Italy, Denmark and Sweden and are continuously expanding our network availability.
What’s more, we also make our LoRaWAN® network available in the USA and the United Arab Emirates.
Our network visualisation allows you to quickly and easily gain an overview of which regions have ZENNER Connect LoRaWAN® network availability. If our network is already available in your local area, you can get started directly by implementing your IoT applications without additional hardware.

What you view on the map
The initial view shows at a glance all countries in which we are already represented as ZENNER Connect, highlighted in blue. If you zoom into the map, the display changes to the hexagon view. The colouring of the hexagons reflects the number of gateways in the respective area – the darker the hexagon, the more gateways in the respective area, the more likely there is network availability. Depending on the zoom level, the hexagon circumference increases or decreases.
By clicking on the antenna icon, the display changes to the simulation view. In this view, the supply of all gateways is simulated and superimposed depending on their type (indoor/outdoor gateway, mounting height). The simulation is based on the Irregular Terrain Model (ITM) and takes into account not only the properties of gateways but also the topology around the installation site. This makes it possible to make a reliable statement regarding the expected availability even in challenging terrain.
LoRaWAN® Network Server
Set up your own network with us!
We plan the LoRaWAN® network expansion along with you to suit your applications and requirements.
Would you like to set up your network yourself, operate it on your own and ensure the greatest possible freedom in the configuration? We provide you with all the necessary technical components for connectivity and support you in all aspects of your network setup. Municipal utilities, municipalities, energy suppliers and industrial companies are independent of third parties through the use of LoRaWAN®. The network availability required to implement IoT applications can be established easily, quickly and cost-effectively by installing LoRaWAN® gateways.
Municipal utilities in particular can reap the benefits of this model and contribute their core competencies (provision of ideal locations, field service, WAN connection). ZENNER Connect offers cooperation models specially tailored to municipal utilities and energy providers for the setup and operation of LoRaWAN® networks. An existing LoRaWAN® network can be expanded at any time with additional indoor and/or outdoor gateways. Depending on requirements, you can implement an outdoor application with a few gateways and expand the coverage, e.g. in the building, for further applications with additional gateways at a later time.
