NB-IoT metering made simple

The platform is already waiting for your meters.

If the meter has a working SIM, all it needs is the Metbox server address. Readings then arrive on their own, decoded and named, from a basement or a chamber under the pavement.

  • Every payload decoded

    NB-IoT meters send whatever their maker chose to send. Each model has its own driver here, so a meter reports named values from its first message instead of raw bytes.

  • Meter and SIM register

    Serial numbers, operator and SIM details, parameters and verification dates in one place, so meters spread across many addresses stay documented.

  • Analytics online

    Consumption by hour, day or month for a meter, an apartment or a whole building, with periods you can compare in the browser.

  • Alerts

    Leaks, backflow, tampering, low battery, weak signal and meters 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.

Why NB-IoT metering?

  • No network to build

    The operator already covers the site. Nothing to mount, nothing to cable.

  • Reaches deep

    The signal gets out of basements and chambers under the pavement.

  • Years on one cell

    The meter wakes, sends a few bytes and goes back to sleep.

  • Best where meters are few

    District mains for water, heat or gas: one per site, too far apart for a gateway.

  • No reading network to run

    The mobile operator keeps it up. No gateways to service, no coverage of your own.
