Technological development offers enormous potential – for mobile communications, among other things. If this is used, comprehensive improvements can be achieved. Efficient use of energy is more important today than ever before. The improved device runtime is a necessary step.
Lifelong device runtime with LTE-M
2G/3G was then – the new star in the mobile communications sky is LTE-M. If this mobile radio technology is used for data transmission, it leads to a massive reduction in energy consumption and an enormous increase in device runtime.
How is that possible? Due to the power-saving LTE-M technology, battery replacement in industrial IoT devices is no longer necessary – it lasts a complete device life!
This leads to further enormous savings opportunities and a more efficient, sustainable use of important resources. As it is no longer necessary to replace the battery, the number of trips to the measuring point is reduced. The devices enable energy-saving operation and can therefore be used for longer. This protects the environment.
Doubled runtime thanks to software update
Technology must be constantly developed and improved. At the same time, energy saving is one of the most important topics in 2022. A software update that maximises the energy efficiency of the devices is the solution.
Facts & Figures: Effects of the update
The software update affects the myDatalogGauge and myDatasensH2S devices as follows:
For all new myDatasensH2S 3G, the term is doubled to 5 years. With the myDatasensH2S LTE-M variant, the runtime increased to the entire life of the device.
For all new myDatalogGauge 3G, the runtime is extended to 8 years in normal operation. With the myDatalogGauge LTE-M variant, the runtime in normal operation increases beyond the 8 years. Normal operation means that the sensor is connected wirelessly to the gateway and measured values are regularly recorded and transmitted.
Devices that are already in use will also benefit from the update – over-the-air. The actual runtime extension depends on the battery’s state of charge at the time of the software update.
