Data-logger with integrated Narrow-Band IoT Technology
NB-IoT BOX is an ATEX ExZone1 (explosion zone) certified, battery-operated data logger for the automatic remote meter reading / reading of measuring devices in the household sector.
You can’t MANAGE, what you can’t MEASURE!
NB-IoT Smart Metering For Households
Conventional intelligent measurement of gas and water meters, such as GSM mobile, radio, LAN and W-LAN communication, often reaches its limits. Practice shows that more and more often areas without powersupply or without conventional network coverage have to be integrated.
This is where VERAUT relies on the NB-IoT-Box with its NarrowBand IoT technology.
We use the proven 3GPP industry standard, a reliable third- generation technology that is internationally recognised and standardised.
The design allows full optimisation for all current mobile networks, within licensed frequency ranges.
Why Narrowband IoT
Deeper building penetration
Comprehensive network coverage over long distances
Optimised energy consumption, up to 15 years battery-lifetime based on hourly transmissions
No installation and maintenance of local networks required, minimal effort for networking
Data transmission even with strong obstacles
Can also be used underground
Optimised for existing mobile networks in licensed frequency ranges
Independence from external power sources
Cross-manufacturer compatibility and international coverage
3GPP industry standard: 3rd generation / international, standardised and reliable technology
Up to 100x as many terminals per cell (compared to GSM)
