Radiocrafts and Wavecom introduce Wireless M-Bus and ZigBee® - enabled GSM/GPRS/EDGE gateway for smart metering

Radiocrafts AS and Wavecom SA today announced the launch of a new GSM/GPRS/EDGE
gateway for smart metering which embeds Wireless M-Bus and ZigBee, all in a very compact
form factor. The Wireless M-Bus standard (EN 13757-4:2005) specifies the communication
between water, gas, heat and electricity meters and concentrators, whereas ZigBee is a
standard for monitoring and control applications using low power radio networking.
The unique new solution is based on Wavecom’s Fastrack Supreme, a programmable
application processor with GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem capabilities. The Fastrack Supreme
comes with an open-standard interface which allows developers to add supplementary I/O
connectivity and features in the form of expansion cards. Radiocrafts has developed a unique
expansion card for smart metering which adds Wireless M-Bus or ZigBee to the
GSM/GPRS/EDGE communications function.
