ZENNER B.One LoRaWAN Smart Metering

ZENNER International GmbH & Co. KG is headquartered in Saarbrucken, Germany, and is part of the Minol-ZENNER Group. It supplies water, gas and electricity metering technology to municipalities, water providers and real estate companies in more than 100 countries.

The B.One solution world combines LoRaWAN and wireless M-Bus meters such as Minomess A B.One and Minolist, LoRa electronic indexes for gas meters, B.One communication modules, LoRaWAN gateways and an IoT Shop for sensors and accessories. The page states that more than 11 million sensors are integrated into ZENNER's LoRaWAN network, and an NB-IoT smart gas meter is also offered.

• Water meters: Minomess A B.One surface-mounted meter and Minolist measuring capsule with LoRaWAN or wireless M-Bus radio.
• Gas metering: Atmos LoRa electronic index and the Blocker B.One NB-IoT diaphragm gas meter.
• Communication modules: PDC and EDC B.One modules with LoRaWAN for pulse and data collection.
• Gateways: LoRaWAN gateway range for building the network.
• Building sensors: CO2 indicator and smoke alarm for LoRaWAN.
• IoT Shop: online store for sensors, gateways and accessories.

• A provincial water company retrofitting residential meters with LoRaWAN modules to read them remotely.
• A residential developer adding sub-metering and CO2 or smoke sensors across apartment blocks.

One vendor covers water, gas and building sensors on LoRaWAN, wireless M-Bus and NB-IoT. Retrofit-capable modules and electronic indexes extend existing meters instead of replacing them. A large installed LoRaWAN base of more than 11 million sensors supports interoperability. Gateways and an online IoT Shop shorten procurement.

Municipal water and gas operators in Europe and Asia are moving from walk-by reading to fixed LoRaWAN networks to cut non-revenue water and manual reading cost. Vietnamese water companies and housing developers evaluating AMR/AMI can use the same retrofit-first approach on existing meter fleets.
