smart metering for all areas

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.

You can’t MANAGE,
what you can’t MEASURE!

The NB-IoT BOX is availible in 3 versions

The right BOX for every situation

Micro

Smart Metering For Household Water Meter

NB – MICRO is a battery-operated data logger for the automatic remote reading of meters in households, especially in the water segment.

  • BATTERIELIFETIME up to 15 years (based on hourly data-transmission)
  • HIGH WALL PENETRATION (also in shafts an cellars)
  • DATA SOTRAGE 

The measurement data from the meter is transmitted to the IT center on an hourly basis via NarrowBand IoT/ 5G.

In addition, NB MICRO offers an integrated alarm management system with automatic warning (e.g. leakage, temperature,…)

NB – MICRO is designed for ultra – low-power applications with a battery life of up to 15 years (based on hourly data transmission).

With the NB – MICRO it is possible to transmit all measurement data from shafts, cellars or basements in a stable and reliable manner directly to the IT center.

The area of ​​application is therefore mostly for water and heat meters.

Lite

Smart Metering For Household Gas Meter

NB – LITE is an ATEX Zone 1 (explosion zone) certified, battery-operated data logger for automatic meter reading of household measuring devices, especially in the gas sector.

  • ATEX ZONE 1 certified (explosion zone)
  • BATTERIELIFETIME up to 15 years (based on hourly data-transmission)
  • HIGH WALL PENETRATION (also in shafts an cellars)

The measurement data from the meter is transmitted to the IT center on an hourly basis via NarrowBand IoT/ 5G.

An alarm management system with automatic warning (e.g. leakage, exceeding limits,..) is directly integrated in the NB-LITE BOX.

Due to the battery life of up to 15 years (based on hourly remote data transmission), NB – LITE is ideally suited for ultra-low-power applications.

NB – LITE is particularly suitable for gas meters in households due to the excellent wall penetration in order to have this data reliably in the IT system.

Mini

ATEX Datalogger For Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)

NB – MINI is an ATEX ExZone1 (hazardous area) certified, battery-operated datalogger for the automatic meter reading of measuring devices from large / industrial customers, larger measuring points, or generally decentralized locations.

  • ATEX ZONE 1 certified (explosions zone)
  • BATTERIELIFETIME up to 15 years (based on hourly data-transmission)
  • HIGH WALL PENETRATION 
  • INDUSTRIAL USE

The measured data from the external measuring device (e.g.: meters, electronic volume correctors [EVC], temperature sensors, pressure sensors, etc.) are logged within predefined time intervals and transmit to the IT center at adjustable transmission times using NarrowBand IoT technology.

In addition, NB – MINI offers an integrated alarm management system with an automatic immediate warning function (e.g. when a predefined limit is exceeded).

NB – MINI is designed for ultra-low power applications with a battery-lifetime up to 12 years based on hourly storage and daily mobile / cellular data-transmission

NB – MINI is mainly used in the areas of consumption monitoring, demand analysis, network monitoring, leak detection, etc.

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)
