Smart IoT system for the telemetry of water meters
MTX-DigitalWater System is a smart system for the collection of water meter measurements and their subsequent sending through narrow band communications (NB-IoT) or Cat-M. A Head End System platform extracts and unifies the information to send it, regardless of the meter brand and the final platform.
The MTX-StarWater collects all the information from the water meters through different interfaces and protocols, stores the data and sends it to the cloud via NB-IoT/Cat-M in the established connection windows. Cervello Stem then acts as Head End System, unifying all the frames received regardless of the brand or protocol of the water meter, sending a unified frame to the client’s final platform or to Cervello Stem IoT platform.
MTX-DigitalWater System collects data from water meters using any of the accepted interfaces (Wireless M-Bus, M-Bus, Pulses or RS485). This is done thanks to the MTX-StarWater, a modem with NB-IoT/Cat-M connectivity and a custom firmware to understand and process the different protocols.
Industrial IoT modem with NB-IoT/Cat-M, IP67 and primary batteries.
The MTX-StarWater is an industrial modem for smart IoT solutions that features NB-IoT/Cat-M connectivity. In addition, it has primary batteries and a firmware adapted to work with different protocols of water meters, together with a low consumption operation that allows it to operate without an external power source for more than 10 years. Thanks to this and its IP67 enclosure, it can be easily installed anywhere.
*The duration of the primary batteries will depend on the frequency of reading and sending information
MTX-DigitalWater System stores the collected data in the internal memory of the MTXStarWater and sends it to the Cervello Stem cloud platform, in the configured connectivity windows, through narrow band communications NB-IoT or Cat-M.

MTX-DigitalWater System works in a fully integrated way with any water meter and with any final platform. The MTX-StarWater sends each meter’s frames, no matter the manufacturer. Those frames are transformed in Cervello Stem, which acts as Head End System, unifying the protocols and sending the information fully integrated and according to the format required by the final platform.
Thanks to the operation of Cervello as Head End System, MTX-DigitalWater System works in a transparent and fully integrated way with any final water management and billing platform. By receiving a single unified data frame, the exclusive dependence on a manufacturer of water meters and/or platform provider disappears, being able to use any on the market. In addition, Cervello Stem also functions as an IoT Platform for the management of devices and visualization of the data received for the monitoring and maintenance of the system.
All your devices on a single platform
Cervello Stem also acts as a device management platform. It allows receiving information from all the devices connected to the system, monitoring their status and connectivity, also managing alarms and remote firmware updates. From Cervello Stem you can also send commands to each of the devices to act on them remotely.
Full compatibility, regardless of customer platform
Thanks to the performance of Cervello Stem as Head End System, the system .is integrated, seamlessly with any final platform, regardless of the protocol used or who had developed it. This makes MTX-DigitalWater System a powerful system compatible with any billing or visualization system already in place, making the deployment of a new equipment structure much easier and more profitable.
