What communication solutions are used to connect with the water meter?

Various communication solutions are used to connect with the Addra water meter, depending on specific monitoring and water consumption management system needs and capabilities:

• LoRaWAN – a technology using stationary communication devices (gateways) for data collection, remote monitoring, and control. LoRaWAN provides two-way communication over large distances (several kilometers in urban conditions) with very low battery consumption.
• Wireless M-Bus – a technology for one-way data retrieval from meters. Typically used in non-stationary communication setups, such as drive-by or walk-by, where a controller retrieves meter readings using specialized equipment.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is used as a local communication channel for valve control, meter software applications, and firmware updates.
