What is WM-Bus?
The Wireless MBus, WM-Bus, is the radio adaptation of the wire-based M-Bus communications standard. Today, WM-Bus is the European communication standard for remote or radio smart-meter readings. This highly developed standard is widely used in the water sector, because it offers numerous advantages regarding data exchanges with smart meters.
This communications standard is particularly valued for:
- The quality of its radio coverage at 868 MHz
- Its ease of use in combination with other technologies, LoRaWAN™ and multi-energy applications
- The ease of installation and deployment of the meter-reading solutions
For all these reasons, Sagemcom has strived to propose numerous solutions based on this communications protocol in order to fully meet its customers’ needs.
Why opt for WM-Bus? And under which circumstances?
Every customer has their own needs. Wireless M-Bus is a solution for customers looking for:
A local network inside buildings
