Smart Utility Meters

Utility metering in multi-apartment buildings relies on manual reads, unreliable GSM gateways that fail in basements, or expensive proprietary systems that lock building managers into single vendors. None of it works well in reinforced concrete buildings with poor RF penetration.

Our system solves the coverage problem with a custom LoRa MESH protocol. Each meter or adapter is also a relay — packets hop through the mesh until they reach an internet gateway, with no single point of failure and no dependency on mobile network coverage. A single gateway can cover an entire residential block.

Two hardware form factors:

Standalone smart meter — a complete electricity or water meter with the mesh radio built in. Installs in place of a conventional meter.

Universal pulse adapter — attaches to any existing factory-installed meter with a pulse output (the standard interface on virtually all modern European meters) and adds wireless telemetry. No meter replacement required, no regulatory recertification.

Both units are battery-powered and autonomous — they deploy without running power or data cables to each installation point.

The SaaS platform gives property managers a per-unit consumption dashboard, automated billing export, anomaly detection (leaks, unexpected spikes), and tenant-facing portal for self-service reads. The same platform scales to industrial sites with hundreds of measurement points.

The system is at TRL 6 — prototype hardware works in multi-unit test deployments. Contacts with Moscow system integrators established. A regulatory tailwind exists: pending legislation would require telemetry in all new residential construction, though enforcement has been delayed.
