Further filter options: Manufacturer, meter type, CI field
Installation mode for commissioning with quick feedback on existing meters
Live mode for permanent data transmission, optionally with TAF 7 function
Planning of readouts via flexible configuration, e.g:
- "Monthly on the 1st and 15th day at 14:30"
- "Daily at 12:15pm"
- "Last day of the month"
- "1st day of the month if it is a weekday, otherwise the next working day"
Remote configuration "over the air"
Customised configuration possible ex works

Functions Data forwarding

Upload via NB-IoT or LTE-M mobile radio, 3GPP Rel. 14 (mini SIM card, 2FF)
Certificate-based authentication (TLS certificates) and encryption
- Alternative username / password authentication
Data-saving and efficient connection via UDP/DTLS and CoAP (Lobaro platform)
- Can be used alongside LTE-M also Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) Use mobile radio
- Lower data consumption than with MQTT
- Also works in locations with poor mobile phone reception
Direct connection via MQTTS and LTE-M to third-party systems without Lobaro platform possible
- JSON via MQTTS
- CBOR via MQTTS (reduces transmission data volume)
- Tested connection to Element IoT, among others (Zenner-IoT)
- On request: OMA Lightweight M2M (LwM2M)
Connection to the SMGW (Smart Meter Gateway) possible (LoRaWAN, wMBUS)
100% secure and signed firmware updates (FOTA) with rollback
Alternative connection via LoRaWAN 1.0.2 (EU-868) instead of mobile radio (via configuration)
Prepared for DECT-NR+

Option for additional installation of wire seals
Battery: 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride battery (2x D-cell, 38 Ah) + SPC (1550, EVE Energy Co, Ltd.)
Battery life: 15 years+ with daily data transmission** possible.

* For use in reading bays or other demanding environments, we also recommend moulding the devices and painting the PCB antenna.

** For a very long battery life, it is necessary to limit the number of counters transmitted daily via filters and to ensure that normal mobile phone coverage (at least 1 out of 4 bars) is available at the location.
