Thanks to its capacities in 169Mz and Lora^[^TM^] (as a founding member of LoRa Alliance) technologies, Sagemcom propose also an affordable and reliable radio solution for low power/throughput applications.

The architecture of Sagemcom solution allows managing the collection of data not only from electricity devices but also from Water, Gas and Heat meters. Where possible, such in Luxembourg, the electricity meter can act a hub to do such collection at the final customer metering point, avoiding the deployment of multiple communication networks.
