Elvaco Submetering

M-Bus and wireless M-Bus meters feed Elvaco Edge gateways over LTE-M, NB-IoT, or LoRaWAN: one gateway reads 1000+ devices: for EED-compliant per-unit heat and water billing.

About Elvaco Submetering

Elvaco's submetering offering combines measurement devices, communications infrastructure and software for collecting consumption by individual building unit. Applications cover heating, hot water and cold water in residential, commercial and industrial properties.

Meter readings pass through communication networks and gateways into measurement-management software. The information supports consumption review and allocation of costs to units, with remote collection reducing the need for on-site reading visits.
