5 Advantages of Wireless M-Bus for Industrial Applications
1) Field Proven By Some Very Cautious Companies (Utilities) Over the last ten years, Wireless M-Bus has become the most commonly used wireless technology in Europe for reading electricity, gas, water, and heat meters. Its European installation base is measured in tens of millions. When you think about it, there is not much difference between the … Read more
Radiocrafts Wireless Solution for a Global Market
Long range and global solution, a tough equation, or…? Many products and applications target a global market and therefore are looking for solutions in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, as this is the lowest frequency band available for a true global solution. However, an issue with 2.4 GHz band is its limited range, typically around … Read more
Make Your LPWAN Simple and Cost Efficient
A not very well protected secret is that LPWANs are already deployed and in use by many of the utility companies in Europe to read the meters automatically. The technology behind in Europe is often Wireless M-Bus on 169 MHz, particularly for gas and water meters. One of the reasons to select this technology is … Read more
When to Use Wireless M-Bus and When Not to Use Wireless M-Bus
What IoT Sensors Can Learn from Automatic Meter Reading Wireless M-Bus(wMBus) was first designed to meet the requirements for the automatic reading of water and gas meters, which require only a low data rate. However, as we enter the Internet of Things (IoT), network designers are realizing that many industrial and commercial sensing applications also … Read more
Antenna Size Matters!
Size matters! Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are key parts of the Internet of Things (IOT), and they are more and more taking advantage of longer range and less interference in the sub-GHz frequency bands compared to 2.45 GHz. A challenge that then shows up is the size of the antenna, as it has to grow … Read more
Range, Sensitivity and Sunglasses
At Radiocrafts, we often get the question on how long range our modules can achieve. With all respect that this is a very important question to our customer, the question is impossible to answer in a direct way. The answer will always be: “It depends”. A good way to explain this for non RF geeks, … Read more
The Physics Behind 169 MHz Long Range Wireless
Think of a Grand Piano RF antenna size is directly proportional to wavelength size for the simple reason that the antenna needs to create resonance for a selected frequency. By way of analogy, look at how a grand piano or an organ creates low (frequency) notes: they use, respectively, longer strings or larger pipes. Radio … Read more
Proven Solution for Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks
What is your biggest nightmare when planning a new industrial sensor network? That you cannot trust the communication link? That it is not secure and easily hacked? Or simply that you need to pull miles of cable in an industrial site that is already full of equipment? Or maybe replacing batteries every second month? Why … Read more
Antenna Selection Guide
Where is the range? How to design and select the antenna for the ISM bands. One of the most common question we get to our support line is how to get the intended range of the wireless connection. Most of the time, the answer relates to the antenna design. I believe it is a result … Read more
