Seluxit’s metering solutions enable consumers
to change wasteful energy habits and save money
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of
high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and
advanced algorithms, announced that a state-of-the-art metering
solution based on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN®
protocol, has been developed as part of the MeDa project for one of
Germany’s leading energy companies with Seluxit (Nasdaq: SLXIT), a
leading developer of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. The MeDa
meter leverages LoRaWAN’s advantages for smart metering to enable
consumers to change wasteful energy habits and save money.

“Seluxit chose Semtech’s LoRa platform due to the number of
significant advantages the platform provides for the smart metering
vertical market,” said Daniel Lux, Co-Founder and CEO at Seluxit.
“LoRaWAN-based connectivity allows our customers to more closely
monitor utility consumption in real time. After installing one of
our LoRaWAN-based smart metering solutions, like the MeDa meter,
customers typically get insight into their energy consumption
patterns, which enables them to change appliances and/or habits to
see a reduction in energy waste and total cost. As a global
supplier for the smart metering market, Seluxit is committed to
providing solutions that reduce energy waste and create more
sustainable energy grids worldwide.”
The deployment of the MeDa smart meter across Germany is
increasing following the rollout that began in November of 2018,
with several hundred thousand units of the total 6.4 million
currently planned for deployment. The MeDa meter leverages
LoRaWAN-based solutions from Seluxit to provide real-time data
monitoring of energy usage and proven connectivity to the Cloud for
long-range data transfer. Additionally, Seluxit’s LoRaWAN modem
encrypts all data transfers as an element of compliance with
Germany’s data security and privacy regulations. The meter’s long
range capabilities allow end users to monitor energy usage
remotely, even in large high-rise buildings. By closely monitoring
energy consumption, customers can change wasteful energy habits and
reduce their energy-related spending.
The MeDa smart meter solution uses a LoRaWAN-based protocol
stack that not only leverages LoRa modulation for long range, but
also utilizes FSK modulation for shorter distance transmission at a
higher data rate. This is possible due to the versatility of the
Semtech hardware. The higher data rate provides the end user even
more detailed information about their energy consumption.
“LoRaWAN is quickly becoming the de facto leader for IoT, and
its long range, low power and ease of integration into existing
infrastructure are clear advantages in the smart metering space,”
said Marc Pegulu, Vice President of IoT for Semtech’s Wireless and
Sensing Products Group. “For developers and system integrators,
LoRaWAN simplifies development and accelerates IoT applications to
market.”
