Elvaco expands its product portfolio with the GWF UNICOe water meter

This strategic move marks a significant step forward in our submetering market expansion, leveraging GWF 's advanced technology to offer our first water meter with LoRaWAN communication.

The dual network compatibility of the GWF UNICOe, capable of operating on both LoRaWAN and wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus) networks, ensures continuous data transmission and flexibility in communication methods, making it an ideal choice for reliable and secure water metering.

The GWF UNICOe water meter is a sophisticated device designed for both hot and cold water metering. It has a single-jet meter with a Q3 flow rate of 2.5 m³/h and has a DN15 connection (¾"B) with a length of 110 mm. Manufactured in Switzerland, the meter is an example of high-quality technology and long-term reliability.

What makes the UNICOe so outstanding:

• Reliability and Data Security
  • The meter provides consistent, secure, and high-resolution data on water consumption, ensuring accurate and reliable readings throughout its lifetime.
  • It includes automatic repair options to maintain operation in case of gateway failures, enhancing reliability.
• Installation and Configuration
  • The meter is designed for easy installation and requires no programming, with automatic radio activation simplifying the setup process.
  • On-site installation is quick and straightforward, enhancing the user experience.
    
    
• Dual Network Compatibility
  • The GWF UNICOe is capable of operating on both LoRaWAN and wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus) networks, offering flexibility in communication methods.
  • If the LoRaWAN connection fails for 25 days, the meter automatically switches to wM-Bus, ensuring continuous data transmission and accessibility for meter readings.
    
    
• Communication Range
  • The meter has an extensive communication range, capable of reaching several kilometers via LoRaWAN and several hundred meters with wM-Bus, ensuring robust data transmission even in challenging environments.
    
    
• Investment Security
  • The fallback to wireless M-Bus when LoRaWAN is not available ensures that meter readings are always possible, providing investment security.

The GWF UNICOe is a reliable, secure, and efficient solution for water metering, making it a valuable asset for utility companies and facility managers looking to implement smart metering solutions.
