Why meetpat uses a LoraWAN IoT smart meter in our permanent products?
Each meetpat permanent product is fitted with a LoraWAN smart meter. This smart meters unique as they a battery powered (have a 5+ year battery life) and can transmit over long ranges (15+ km) both indoors and outdoors. A wifi equivalent requires mains power or has a very short battery life. Many business, councils and municipalities utilise this technology however the smart meters are limited to the network they can connect to. Unlike mobile technology (4g, 5g) the network is only available in selected locations globally however the advantage to the technology is any business or community network can set up a network similar to setting up a modem/wifi at home.
If there is a LoraWAN network available
meetpat sets up a smart meter ready for usage. If there is a network available the meters are pre-configured for the data to be transmitted through The Things Network (TTN) platform and will be able to provide live data to the meetpat online app.
No network?
Users can still receive total litres / usage data from the unit by visiting the water stations, using a mobile phone app to obtain the latest reading. Use this data to then manual enter into the meetpat online app to keep tracking or use to create a sustainability report.
Alternatively, anyone (Government, Private or Public organisation) can set up a LoraWAN network.
