Combining expertise for powerful IoT and smart metering solutions

Diehl Metering and STACKFORCE have been working together for many years in the field of embedded software for water and heat meter communication. Thanks to STACKFORCE’s in-depth know-how of new IoT and low-power wide-area radio technologies and Diehl Metering’s expertise in the field of smart meters, smart utilities and smart cities, a number of joint connectivity projects have already been successfully implemented in the past.

The strategic partnership is a win-win situation for both companies: Diehl Metering can further expand its already leading position in the areas of smart meters, smart utilities and smart city, and STACKFORCE has a strong partner in Diehl to further expand its business model for standard protocol stacks. As both Diehl Metering and STACKFORCE are co-founders of the mioty alliance, the partnership also includes the establishment of the global LPWAN standard mioty®. By combining the expertise of Diehl Metering and STACKFORCE, customers will benefit from enhanced solutions in the areas of smart metering, IoT and Smart X.

We look forward to a strong partnership and are excited to see what the future holds!
