The evolution of smart metering has transformed how utilities collect and manage metering and consumption data. At the heart of this digital transformation of utilities lies the wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus) protocol, a wireless communication protocol for automated meter reading that has been adopted for over 20 years through the standard defined by the European Normalization Committee (CEN) under the standard series EN13757, encompassing Europe and beyond. In this blog post, we'll explore our recent demo featuring the Semtech LR1121 and LR2021, and discuss how enabling the dual connectivity for wM-Bus and LoRaWAN® is today’s demand of utilities for Smart Metering.
