LoRaWAN metering made simple

One gateway, a whole district of meters.

A single gateway hears meters in every block around it, through basements and walls. Readings land in the platform as they are sent.

Already have gateways, or coverage in the area? We take the readings from your network server instead.

Metbox platform

1386m³

Every payload decoded
Each supported model has a driver of its own, so a device that joins reports in cubic metres and kilowatt hours rather than as hex.
Device register
Serial numbers, device and application keys, parameters and verification dates in one place, so a growing fleet stays documented.
Analytics online
Consumption by hour, day or month for a device, an apartment or a whole district, with periods you can compare in the browser.
Alerts
Leaks, tampering, low battery and devices that go quiet, flagged as they are reported and sent to whoever needs to know.
Reports and billing
Consumption reports and billing exports on a schedule, as files or through the API into the system you invoice from.

Ours · Preconfigured
Metbox LoRaWAN GW LTE
The wM-Bus box with a LoRaWAN radio in it. Mount it as high as the site allows and give it power: it arrives configured, reaches our network server over LTE, and starts handing readings over.

A generic LoRaWAN gateway
Point its packet forwarder at the Metbox network server. The gateway and every device under it are then managed from the platform, with nothing new on the roof.

Somebody else's · No hardware
A network you already use
LORIOT, Helium, Actility or your own ChirpStack: where there is coverage already, we take the readings from that network server and the devices stay yours.

Why LoRaWAN?

One gateway, a district
Kilometres of range, so a handful of gateways covers what a building at a time cannot.
Reaches the cellar
Sub-GHz radio gets out of basements, chambers and pits under the pavement.
Ten years on a battery
A reading is a few bytes, and the device sleeps the rest of the time.
Nothing per meter
No SIM card and no subscription for each device on the network.
No lock-in
Certified open standard. Change gateway, network or provider without touching a device.
More than meters
Sensors, thermostats and radiator heads run on the same network as the meters.
