The gateway collects data from all metering device conforming to the 868 MHz Wireless M-Bus standard (EN 13757-4) or uses Sensus RF Bubble UP low power short range FSK radio modulation to broadcast consumption data. Their wireless range is typically only about 50m with this traditional technology. The Lobaro Wireless M-Bus Gateway extends this range by collecting the short range data and then uploads it using modern cellular IoT networks (Narrowband IoT) onto the Internet. Alternatively an additional upload path via LoRaWAN networks is available. This unique feature of combining to LPWAN technologies in a single device might be used as a fallback if yet no modern NB-IoT network is available at the place of deployment.

Info

LoRaWAN is supported since firmware version 0.8.0+

Metering data is send to the Lobaro Platform, were it gets parsed, displayed and made available for further processing. Because most Wireless M-Bus telegrams are encrypted, the Platform allows adding decryption keys for individual meters, so that the data can be decrypted by the Platform. It is also possible to use the Lobaro Wireless M-Bus Gateway without the Platform and connect it to your own backend, if it is capable of parsing and decrypting wMBus telegrams.
