LoRaWAN, NB-IoT and 4G Cat.1 metering modules built on the WF8002 inductive sensing chip, for water and gas meters that report into an AMI or AMR platform. All three radio options share the same sensing front end, so the choice of network does not change how the meter measures.
LoRaWAN modules suit LPWAN collection where meters are spread across a wide area and a utility operates its own network or joins a public one.
NB-IoT modules use licensed cellular networks, so there is no gateway to install and coverage extends indoors and underground where meters are often located.
4G Cat.1 modules are used where a meter needs higher throughput or more frequent two-way communication than an LPWAN link provides.
