Solution
We use the Vodafone network
For the implementation of remote readings, we do not use the network built by us, but rely on the network built by the operator. In particular, we use NB-IoT networks from the operator Vodafone. This cooperation guarantees us 100% coverage within the Czech Republic and maximum security of your data. Data flows just as it would in the case of mobile phones and devices have SIM Cards.
Battery powered solution
Our solution is battery-powered with a lifespan of up to 10 years, depending on the frequency of remote readings. Thanks to the batteries, not only do you not have to deal with electrical inspections during the installation, but the installation can be completed in a few minutes.
The buses are delivered with the battery connected and the SIM card inserted. The device can therefore go straight to installation, where you just place the unit in the corridor - on 2 or 4 dowels.
Transfer of data
Every customer is unique. Some people require a complete solution including an application to display plans, some just need to send parsed data in JSON format to a specific endpoint, some expect a CSV file on their server, and some may just need to forward unparsed data.
We are flexible and will transfer the data to you as you need.
Reading any meters
We often encounter a situation with customers where they have meters installed, but the supplier tries to lock them into their solution without the possibility of change. We combat such approaches by supporting the reading of as many meters as possible to maintain as much flexibility as possible in meter recovery.
Anonymized installations
For the correct functionality of the installation, it is important to ensure that we can match the used buses and individual meters within one object for reading. We mostly use the street and descriptive number as the key, but we can also work with any other identifier - for example, a random sequence of numbers that you choose. We do not need to know where the installation is for the system to function properly.
How do we work?
The obligation to provide data on a monthly basis is approaching. We strongly recommend each of our customers to try different solutions, ask about technical details and make sure that the chosen solution will be here in a year, two, three or more.
An important aspect is also the calculation of the cost of ownership of the entire solution. It is not only the price of the service and the price of the hardware, but also the costs related to the installation, the time required to guide the entire installation, the possibility to change the supplier of either meters or reading technology, the price of data transfer - whether using a SIM card or in the case of building your own LoRaWAN networks etc.
Pilot installation & first data transfer
As a first step, we will ask you to select one of your houses and try to equip it with our units. We will not show you any demo houses. Try us out for yourself.
Evaluation
After a few weeks or months of operation, we will meet at your place and evaluate the pilot project. If you are satisfied, we will solve the technical details, such as where to send the data, in what format, etc.
Contractual relationship with delineation of responsibilities
We will set out all our obligations and the consequences of their violation together in the framework contract for the provision of services.
Connecting our data transfer systems
Whether it's a simple export to the target endpoint or a CSV export to your server, we'll get everything ready for upcoming installations here
Housing the desired houses
We are now ready for more bus deployment and data collection. Ideally, we work on a timeframe where we know how many buses you will need and when. This approach will save you money and ensure that there are no shortages in supply even with increasing demand
