Our mission is to share a truly open, interoperable, long range and free-to-use radio communication technology (LPWAN) within the smart metering industry. The technology specification is based on our long term experience with wireless solutions and standardization, turning this into innovative and sustainable business opportunities.
OpenlinkIQ® - being a combination of our openness, our deep involvement in implementation of the EN13757 standard family and our many years of experience within battery operated wireless solutions, will – unlike any other known solution - offer a truly open, scalable, long-range and free-to-use specification with full transparency and no hidden IPR costs at the right time.
There is a huge need in the industry to get access to a more robust long range solution compared to existing standard solutions, both within the utility segment and the submetering segment. We believe that the advantages of such a radio communication technology will also be of interest for a variety of new small battery powered sensor applications.
OpenlinkIQ® offers a robust radio communication network, by using intelligent coding of the transmitted signal, which again ensures reliable data delivery, even if communication is disturbed by interference from radio transmissions from other devices.
Built upon open metering communication standards (M-Bus), combined with many years of experience with battery operated solutions, OpenlinkIQ® takes the full benefit from both interoperability and advanced radio communication technology.
The intension of OpenlinkIQ® is to make advanced technology available as a genuine open and free-to-use long range radio technology, with a performance matching other LPWAN technologies on the market, while outperforming those with a very low power consumption. Most other LPWAN technologies are either proprietary solutions or covered by IPR and related license fees. With OpenlinkIQ® we will demonstrate a path for enabling any end device with efficient and advanced communication technology without being locked by IPR and/or license fees.
OpenlinkIQ® is designed to coexist with current deployed solutions based on known LPWAN technologies, such as wireless M-Bus, LoRaWAN®, SigFox®, etc.
