Why open standards

Open standards enable interoperability Open standards give multi-vendor ecosystem and hence lower cost What are open standards
EN/IEC/ISO IETF Industry standard

Wireless M-Bus

Wireless M-Bus Basics

Slaves reporting to Master (concentrator) Slave receives acknowledge with minimum time response

Message decryption and acknowledge within 2-3 ms

Meter wakes up and transmits reading (gas: each 30 min)

Ack can contain shut valve command

Water: TX each 4 hours (with random time-spread)

Background
