The iOKE868 LoRaWAN® optical reading head unit leverages the long range and low power consumption of LoRa® to provide real-time data monitoring of energy consumption and secure connectivity to the LoRaWAN® IoT network. It is compatible with most modern smart meters (compliant with IEC62056-21 and SML messages)
The optical reading unit iO881A can be attached magnetically to the smart meter to read out the infrared interface, extract the desired values and transfer those to the LoRaWAN® network with a period defined by the user.
The external antenna provides a maximum flexibility during installation in difficult RF environments. The user-friendly configuration tool offers an easy way to change the radio, calendar and filter settings. All these advantages result in a far more comprehensive and detailed feedback on energy consumption and enable a significant reduction of operational costs.

Kit Content
- iO881A optical interface head
- 868 MHz antenna with 2 m cable and MMCX connector
- USB cable 1.8 m (male A to male Micro B)
The optical reader head iO881A is equipped with an u.fl antenna connector and can be powered through the USB interface with an external power supply or with batteries.
The optical unit can be attached magnetically to the smart meter to read out the infrared interface, extract the desired values and transfer those to the LoRaWAN® network periodically. The collected data is available for further analysis of real time and previous consumption.
The user friendly configuration tool offers an easy way to modify the radio-, calendar- and filter- settings at any time. All those benefits turn into a far greater and more detailed feedback regarding energy use and more efficient management of resources.
