Wireless M-Bus

Open standard for Automatic Meter Reading at sub 1 GHz

Radiocrafts was first in the market with a family of miniature RF-modules with embedded wireless M-Bus protocol. To support regional adaptations of the EN13757-4:2005 standard combined with a continous development of features, Radiocrafts has introduced Feature Sets which is tailored firmware inside the same hardware platform.

The currently available feature sets are shown in the table below. Via an agreement with Radiocrafts and a programming connector included on your PCB as advised in the data sheet, the same hardware can target multiple markets.
