LoRaWAN Open Protocol Guide: Our Ultrasonic Water Meters Are Compatible with All Standard LoRaWAN Network Servers

In the era of smart water management, the interoperability of IoT devices has become a core demand for utilities, enterprises, and system integrators. As a professional ultrasonic water meter manufacturer, we are proud to announce that our ultrasonic water meters fully comply with the LoRaWAN Open Protocol (Version 1.0.3), supporting Class A, Class B, and Class C device types, and seamlessly integrating with all mainstream standard LoRaWAN network servers worldwide. This commitment to open standards ensures flexibility, scalability, and cost-saving for our global customers, aligning with the latest trends in smart water IoT infrastructure.

Full Compliance with LoRaWAN 1.0.3 Protocol: Reliable Connectivity for Smart Water Monitoring

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a low-power, wide-area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery-operated IoT devices to the internet, making it the ideal choice for smart water metering applications that require long-range, low-consumption connectivity. Our ultrasonic water meters strictly adhere to the LoRaWAN 1.0.3 specification, which fully supports unicast and multicast Class B devices while maintaining backward compatibility with Class A and Class C operations from previous versions.

Every ultrasonic water meter we produce is pre-configured with standard activation parameters—DevEUI, AppKey, and AppEUI—eliminating the need for complex manual configuration. This plug-and-play design allows the meters to connect seamlessly with any standard LoRaWAN network server, including:

• The Things Stack (TTS): A fully managed, API-first LoRaWAN network solution that integrates seamlessly with upstream platforms like AWS IoT Core, ideal for large-scale device fleets.

• ChirpStack: A popular open-source LoRaWAN network server, favored for its flexibility and ease of customization for diverse smart water projects.

• AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN: A secure, scalable cloud-based service that simplifies the management of LoRaWAN devices and the routing of meter data to applications running on AWS accounts.

• LORIOT, Actility, and other standard LoRaWAN servers: Ensuring maximum compatibility regardless of your existing or preferred network infrastructure.

Industry-Leading References: Proven Compatibility & Standard-First Approach

Our commitment to open standards and platform-agnostic design is not just a promise—it is proven by industry leaders and real-world deployments. We align with the best practices of global water meter pioneers, ensuring our solutions meet the rigorous demands of large-scale smart water projects.

• Itron, the global leader in water metering, deployed over 150,000 LoRaWAN smart meters in the UK’s Severn Trent project, using The Things Stack network operated by Connexin. This large-scale deployment demonstrates the reliability and scalability of LoRaWAN technology in smart water management, a standard our meters fully support.

• B Meters, a renowned European brand, explicitly states on its website that its products are “Compatible with mainstream network servers like The Things Stack, ChirpStack, etc.”—a compatibility standard we also uphold, ensuring our meters integrate seamlessly into existing European smart water ecosystems.

Our ultrasonic water meters’ LoRaWAN compatibility is further verified by real TTN (The Things Network) connection screenshots, providing tangible proof of our adherence to open standards. By prioritizing standardization, we empower our customers to avoid vendor lock-in, reduce integration costs, and scale their smart water systems with ease.
