STMicroelectronics’ wireless microcontrollers make Sindcon smart meters more efficient and sustainable
The project is adding STM32WLE5 LoRaWAN ® wireless microcontrollers from ST into Sindcon’s network of more than 50,000 water, gas and energy meters in Jakarta, Indonesia.
- The project is adding STM32WLE5 LoRaWAN ® wireless microcontrollers from ST into Sindcon’s network of more than 50,000 water, gas and energy meters in Jakarta, Indonesia.
- “As a small system-on-chip (SoC), the STM32 wireless microcontroller also lets customers like Sindcon to pack more features into their smart meters, without increasing the size or form factor of their product.”
“Sindcon’s smart meters in Jakarta are located inside private apartments, residential areas, industrial water utilities and shopping malls, making meter-reading challenging and expensive. - LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a very low power wireless communication protocol designed for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
- Typically, it is used for applications such as smart city infrastructure, industrial automation, and agricultural monitoring that transmit low bandwidth data.
