Whats the difference between the LoRa and GPRS water meter
In current, our wireless remote reading water meter mainly divided into LoRa and GPRS system.This article wish to give you a brief introduction about them.
The LoRa water meter system transmits and receives signals from the water meter and LoRa data concentrator through the LoRa signal. You can remotely read and control the water supply via a computer wirelessly.
GPRS water meter system transmits and receives signals from water meter via 2G signal. Each water meter built-in a SIM card module.You can reading and control water supply via computer.
LoRa system and GPRS system is different in reading method and frequency.
1.LoRa data reading methods are divided into active reading and passive reading.
--Active reading, the current cumulative flow of the water meter can be read through the platform.
--Passive reading, through the platform set concentrator upload time and frequency for data reading.
2. The reading mode of GPRS water meter system is passive reading. The default reading frequency of water meter is once 3 days or once a day(optional).
The installation conditions requirements of these two water meters are as follows:
1.LoRa
1) Intensive installation of water meters
2) External power supply can ensure the normal operation of data concentrator
3) High Intensity of SIM Card Signal(2G/3G/4G) for data concentrator
2.GPRS
1) Each water meter need to work with one 2G SIM card
2) Require high GPRS signal(2G signal) intensity
