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).

Note: Please use the Lobaro USB configuration adapter also order.

Description

The compact Lobaro wireless M-BUS gateway with external power supply records consumption values from up to 500 commercially available water meters, heat meters, heat cost allocators or similar with 868 MHz wireless M-Bus radio interface or Sensus RF Bubble Up and forwards them encrypted via mobile radio or LoRaWAN to the Internet for further evaluation. The external power supply to the device means that frequent reading intervals in the minute range are also conceivable, for example for predictive maintenance and early leakage detection solutions.

Forwarded counter values can be encrypted in the Lobaro IoT platform and can be viewed there or downloaded as a CSV file. The Lobaro platform is optional.

Thanks to the innovative NB-IoT radio technology, remote reading even works in places such as Kellern, where 4G smartphones no longer have reception. The data volume of a single 10 Euro SIM card is sufficient for several years of operation in many applications. The firmware also allows switching to upload via LoRaWAN.
