Compteur d’eau connecté SAUR – LoRa mais pas SIGFOX

FRENCH WATER UTILITY ORDERS 150,000 MADDALENA RADIO WATER METERS

10.05.2017

Maddalena signed an important contract with the Saur Group for the supply of 150,000 positive displacement water meters equipped with a radio communication system. The installation started at the end of last year and will be completed in 2017 under a massive meter replacement project. These smart end points will be connected to the utility’s fixed radio network system with bidirectional capabilities and will improve billing, water monitoring, efficiency and reduce water loss.
Maddalena was selected for its top-range positive displacement water meter and new ARROWwan compact radio module.

ARROW WAN MVM 169 MHZ

MODULE RADIO COMPACT BIDIRECTIONNEL AVEC BANDE ISM 169 MHZ

  • Compatible avec les compteurs volumétriques MVM équipés de capteur d’impulsions inductif
  • Protocole de communication faible consommation
  • Interface wireless M-Bus, avec possibilité d’utiliser la modulation LoRaTM
  • Transmission longue portée en milieux urbains et suburbains
  • Alimentation : batterie, durée de vie utile : 15 ans (en configuration standard)
  • Degré de protection : IP68

ARROWWAN is compatible with the current wM-Bus standard (EN 13757 and AFNOR E17Z), and it can also support the new LPWAN solutions such as LoRa™ and Sigfox .  Thanks to the integrated NFC interface, the transmission mode is easy and intuitive to select  – users will be able to select the mode simply by using a smartphone.

ARROWWAN will be available in two versions:

1) 868 MHz, multi-protocol: wM-Bus, LoRa™, Sigfox;

2) 169 MHz, multi-protocol: wM-Bus, LoRa™.
