The MiniLTE is a small form factor communication device which provides a reliable and secure data bridge to utility equipment in the field. It connects to a server, which provides a real-time data pipe and can monitor GPRS uptime. The device uses Cat.NB-IoT(LTE) with 2G fallback
The LTE can make use of a private APN or a public internet connection (Prepaid and Postpaid SIM)
 
Features
The modem can use a public or private APN
Dinrail mountable enclosure available.
Optimised for interfacing metering device to metering management and energy control application
RS232 and RS485 serial communication port for direct connection with commercial meters. Supervises network NB-IOT connection.
Intelligent power management with additional watchdog processor to manage GSM engine (loss of coverage, periodic reset)
LED display for Power, Rx, Tx and Network status
Integrates with Netlink cloud comms device management tool
NB-IOT(LTE) connection with 2G fallback

Capability for further integration
 
Netelek’s system and hardware platform are designed with an open and flexible architecture that allows integration with a wide range of third-party metering devices, including electricity, water, and gas meters. Integration can be accommodated through commonly available communication interfaces such as RS485, RS232, and Ethernet, as well as wireless and IoT communication technologies, including 4G/LTE modems, Sigfox, and other IoT connectivity solutions, depending on the meter’s capabilities. Our platform supports widely adopted industry protocols such as DLMS/COSEM and Modbus, enabling interoperability with many modern metering solutions. We generally integrate with meters from manufacturers that follow open-architecture principles and make their communication protocols available. Examples of brands we recognise as operating on open architectures include Landis+Gyr, Kamstrup, Hexing, Inhemeter, VeryCo, Schneider Electric, ABB, and Honeywell. The level of integration that can be achieved typically depends on the availability of the meter’s communication specifications, protocol documentation, and the functionality exposed by the device.
