Internet of Things for Smart Metering
The IQnexus pulse reader can be interfaced to any type of meter with a pulse output, Water, Gas, Heating or Electricity. The transmitter uses SIGFOX or LORA low power networks allowing very long battery life and low costs compared to standard 3G or GSM devices.
A single unit can interface with two meters for minimum deployment cost and can be configured via the IQnexus platform. It can also be delivered pre-programmed directly from the factory.
IQnexus Senpulse installation is very easy. For water meters, it is as simple as screwing a lid on top of your existing meter and opening your web browser to keep track of your water usage.
