The Wireless M-Bus Range Extender is a compact and cost-effective device that collects wireless M-Bus messages from utility meters and forwards them to a LoRaWAN® network.
The Range Extender allows a flexible configuration of calendar events for Wireless M-Bus reception windows as well as device filtering by Manufacturer ID and Device ID to select specific groups of meters. Even large Wireless M-Bus messages with maximum payload size can be forwarded with LoRaWAN® radio packets by means of an integrated segmentation and reassembly protocol.
This LoRaWAN certified device includes a long life Lithium battery which ensures in combination with the new ultra-low power radio module iM881A-XL a life time of up to 10 years and more.
The configuration can be managed Over-The-Air via LoRa® messages (on request) or via wired serial interface.
