Wehrheim in the digital transformation

Wehrheim, a charming municipality in the Taunus region and home to m2m Germany GmbH, is taking big steps towards the digital age. Through an initiative of melita.io and m2m Germany GmbH, the municipality of Wehrheim now has the opportunity to advance digitalization in Wehrheim. With the installation of a LoRaWAN gateway from melita.io on the roof of m2m Germany, the municipality of just under 10,000 inhabitants is taking a big leap into the world of digitalization.

A step into the networked future

A partnership between m2m Germany and melita.io from Berlin has laid the foundation for the possibility of introducing Internet of Things (IoT) applications in Wehrheim. Located on the roof of m2m Germany's corporate building, a strategically located installation point, the LoRaWAN gateway provides excellent coverage in the core community and opens up a variety of exciting opportunities for local businesses and the municipality. This elevated installation point allows the potential of the LoRaWAN radio signal to be fully exploited.

Smart prospects

The community and their businesses can look forward to a number of benefits from IoT applications. These include improved heating control systems that intuitively adapt to individual needs and optimize both comfort and energy efficiency. Real-time transmission of consumption data from water, electricity and gas meters will give residents insights into their resource use.

The implementation of sophisticated IoT-supported flood protection measures will increase the community's ability to respond. In addition, innovative solutions for agriculture and forestry, will provide farmers and foresters with state-of-the-art tools to increase productivity and sustainability.
