Feature
- The ST STM32WLE5CC wireless MCU is used in Sindcon’s initial deployment in Indonesia.
- On the LoRaWAN network, the STM32WLE5 microcontroller uses long-range, low-power wireless radio technology.
- The updated meters should entirely install by the end of 2023.
With Sindcon IoT Technology Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based producer of smart meters, STMicroelectronics, a market leader in semiconductors, has formed a cooperation. The partnership intends to improve Sindcon’s network of more than 50,000 water, gas, and electricity meters in Jakarta, Indonesia, by using STM32WLE5 LoRaWAN wireless microcontrollers.
Revolutionizing Remote Meter Reading
- On the LoRaWAN network, the STM32WLE5 microcontroller uses long-range, low-power wireless radio technology.
- It is ideal for reading meters remotely in Jakarta’s varied urban and jungle settings.
Challenges in Jakarta
- Sindcon may place its smart meters in many different places, including individual residences, neighborhoods, commercial water utilities, and malls.
- Traditional meter reading is difficult and expensive because of these many settings.
- To solve difficulties with performance, size, security, and power consumption, CEO Chen Deyu highlights the advantages of STM32WLE5’s high integration.
