STACKFORCE and NXP Semiconductors team up to deliver powerful, energy-efficient Wireless M-Bus communication for smart metering applications.

We at STACKFORCE are excited to announce the successful integration of our Wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus) and LoRaWAN® Dual Stacks into the new Quectel KG200Z LoRa module. This powerful combination enhances connectivity for smart metering, industrial automation, and IoT applications by bridging the gap between short-range and long-range communication.

STACKFORCE expands platform support for the OMS® protocol: Our proven OMS® v4.5.1 stack is now also available for the powerful FG23 and FG28 SoCs from Silicon Labs.

We are thrilled to announce that our two innovative solutions, OMS® v4.5.1 for End Devices and OMS® v4.5.1 for Gateway Devices, are now fully compatible with the new STM32WL3 platform from our partner STMicroelectronics. This powerful combination offers a wide range of benefits for IoT and smart metering projects.

OMS® v5 – the new generation enters the metering world! After intensive development work, we at STACKFORCE have our first stack of the new OMS® generation ready on the shelf with the release of the OMS® v5.0.1 UL-S1 stack. This powerful product combines the OMS® specification with the physical layer of mioty® LPWAN technology (specified according to TS-UNB - ETSI TS 103357).

With the release of our newest member of our dual stack family, we are expanding our product portfolio in the area of multi stacks. This dual stack for end-points is a high-performance solution that enables specified communication with the latest OMS® v4 and TR06 specification. OMS® over LoRaWAN® defines how OMS®-compliant data packets can be exchanged bidirectionally via LoRaWAN®.

STACKFORCE now offers an expanded selection of off-the-shelf standard protocol stacks. Thanks to strong industry partnerships, customers benefit from faster integration, reduced development time, and reliable LPWAN technologies.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has as its basic concept to connect many different devices via the Internet so that data exchange can take place. Due to increasing automatization, networked devices are already being used in all sectors. They can be found in industry, agriculture, healthcare, private households and many other areas. What role does embedded software play here and what challenges must be mastered in software development?

In a LoRaWAN network, there are sometimes many different Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that require regular maintenance. One issue here, for example, is the installation of new firmware. An important requirement may be to be able to perform this process remotely. LoRaWAN provides an efficient and secure method for this using multicast messages.

Maximum flexibility for your IoT solution: A Multi-Protocol Stack allows multiple wireless technologies like LoRaWAN®, mioty® and Wireless M-Bus (OMS®) to run in parallel on a single device. Learn how you can benefit from seamless integration, dynamic switching, and extended coverage with a future-proof Multi Protocol Solution.
