What is LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN is a long-range wide area network. This is a method of collecting and storing data over a long-range, from up to 10km away. It is easy to install and can be simply integrated into existing networks thanks to its plug-and-play ability. It wirelessly connects devices to the internet and manages communication between end-node devices and network gateways.
Why choose LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN offers a simple solution for a long-range, low-powered method of collecting data. LoRaWAN transfers the data from the source and pushes it to a server which then is hosted in the cloud and can be accessed remotely. LoRaWAN is quickly becoming a widely used system as it offers an easily integrable solution for products that require remote reading. It is cost-effective and reduces maintenance costs thanks to its internal long-life battery, which currently lasts in excess of 5 years. LoRaWAN is easy to install and works over the LoRa network. LoRawan is quicker and more efficient than alternative methods of AMR
At DMS we can offer a variety of meters that can be used within the LoRaWAN network. The Sontex Supercal 739, Superstatic 749, 789 and the Supercal 5 all have the option to use LoRaWAN, as well as M-Bus, WM-Bus, Radio and pulsed. They also benefit from long-life batteries or the option to use mains power. The Sontex brand carries quality and accuracy as standard and in Autumn 2021 its energy range was added to with the state-of-the-art Supercal 5 calculator.
