Goal: Have LoRaWAN Recognized as a CEN Standard
   
We need your help!

Members of the Technical Committee have worked within the CEN (European Committee for Standardization), TC294 (Communications Systems for Meters)—responsible for the wM-Bus protocol—to develop a new mechanism in this standard, the M-Bus Adaptation Layer to transport M-Bus payloads over an LPWAN technology.

LoRaWAN is suitable for this approach, described in the newly defined EN 13757-8 standard.

The formal CEN vote is open until May 4, 2023.

We encourage you to email your National Committee responsible for Smart Metering activities and ask that they vote in favor of this new standard.
