Narrative

Technical Innovation & Quality Heritage

YTL’s NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) Smart Meters represent the pinnacle of cellular-based energy monitoring. By utilizing existing 4G/5G infrastructure provided by global telecom carriers, these meters offer a plug-and-play solution that requires zero local network installation. As a technology-forward manufacturer, Zhejiang Yongtailong has optimized these meters for low-bandwidth, periodic data transmission, ensuring exceptional signal stability even in highly congested urban environments. NB-IoT is specifically designed for deep indoor penetration—making it perfect for meters located in pits or behind reinforced concrete walls. These meters support carrier-grade security and standard protocols like CoAP or LwM2M, facilitating easy integration into modern smart city platforms. Our NB-IoT solutions are the preferred choice for utilities looking for immediate scalability and national-level deployment with minimal maintenance.

Product Application

  • Dense Urban Residential Projects
  • Basement Meter Rooms
  • Water-Electric Dual Billing

Dense Urban Residential Projects

In massive metropolitan areas, managing private gateways can be a logistical nightmare. NB-IoT meters utilize the existing city-wide 4G/5G signal, allowing utilities to deploy thousands of meters instantly across the city. Each meter connects directly to the carrier tower, ensuring a standardized and reliable data flow for accurate monthly billing.

Basement Meter Rooms

Many smart meters fail when installed in underground parking lots or deep basements of high-rise buildings. NB-IoT’s superior power spectral density allows it to penetrate through layers of soil and concrete where traditional 4G or Wi-Fi signals die, ensuring that utility companies never lose contact with their equipment.

Water-Electric Dual Billing

Utilities can use NB-IoT meters as a communication hub for an entire utility suite. Because NB-IoT is optimized for massive device density, it can handle data from electricity, water, and gas meters in the same building simultaneously without signal interference, simplifying the consolidated billing process.

Product Advantages

Plug-and-Play Simplicity

No need to install gateways or local servers. Simply insert a SIM card and the meter automatically registers on the carrier network and begins transmitting data to the cloud.

Ultra-High Density

Supports up to 50,000 devices per cell sector, ensuring that meters in high-density apartment blocks remain connected even during peak network traffic periods.

Long-Term Future Proofing

NB-IoT is a standardized part of the 5G roadmap, ensuring that your metering infrastructure will be supported by global telecom carriers for decades to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Do these meters require a special NB-IoT SIM card?

    A: Yes, they require an IoT-specific SIM card from your local telecom provider. These cards are typically much cheaper than standard mobile phone SIMs.

  • Q: Can I use this meter if I don't have 5G in my area?

    A: NB-IoT often runs on the same frequency as 4G (LTE), so if your area has 4G coverage, it is highly likely the carrier has already enabled NB-IoT support.

  • Q: What is the benefit of NB-IoT over GPRS?

    A: NB-IoT has much better indoor penetration, supports more devices per tower, and is far more power-efficient, making it the modern replacement for aging 2G networks.

  • Q: Does the meter store data if the network goes down?

    A: Yes, all our NB-IoT meters have internal flash memory that logs consumption data. Once the network signal is restored, the meter will automatically re-upload all missing logs.

  • Q: Is there an extra monthly cost?

    A: There is usually a small monthly data fee paid to your telecom carrier for each SIM card, but the cost is typically very low for IoT devices.
