With the development of the Internet of Things, people's lifestyle is changing in a subtle way, and work and life are gradually shifting from the traditional offline way to the online way, and more and more enterprises are adopting the offline online management mode to improve their viability and competitiveness, and meter reading is no exception.
In daily property management, meter reading is a tedious task, and the traditional meter reading mode has many drawbacks: 1.
1. The human resources are troublesome and error-prone
2. Scattered far away and time-consuming 
3. Low efficiency and high labor cost
Based on 4G communication technology of three major carriers, it has many advantages such as fast transmission speed, low communication cost, easy and low cost installation, no extra wiring, high stability, and no distance limitation, etc. Using 4G wireless meter reading solution can effectively reduce the cost of manpower and improve the accuracy of data statistics.
The EC04 module can be perfectly applied to 4G wireless intelligent meter reading system, which has the following advantages.
1. Not restricted by area: it adopts CAT1 solution and supports 4G all-networking, with wide coverage, high stability and low latency, which can be applied to a variety of environments, such as mountainous areas, towns and other underdeveloped traffic areas.
2. Support multiple working modes: network transit (TCP/UDP), MQTT mode, HTTP mode, SMS transit, customers can choose the desired transmission mode.
3. support for fast access to Ali cloud, Baidu cloud, onenet and version 3.1 standard MQTT server, can quickly access the MQTT server built by the customer to achieve data on the cloud.
4. support multi-link edge collection, support modbus automatic CRC checksum, able to automatically convert the collected modbus data into modbus tcp.
5. The module is small in size, easy to install and easy to wire.
Thanks to these features, the EC04 module connected to the meter can transmit data to the server through the 4G network, and can be used after being configured and powered on, which is easy to operate, so that the cost of arranging communication lines can be eliminated and labor costs can be saved.
The 4G network of three major carriers covers the whole country, so the EC04 module can receive meter reading data from all over the world regardless of the distance, realizing the effect of centralized management of meters in many places by one server. According to the customer's needs, the meter can be switched on and off at regular intervals.
The 4G wireless intelligent meter reading solution built with EC04 module can be perfectly equipped in the platform server meter reading system, which can help users manage efficiently, and also build a detection management system in the cloud server to realize the visualization of the collected data, and the management personnel can detect and manage the data through PC terminal, WeChat mini-program, etc. to realize the control of the data conveniently and quickly, which is This is something that cannot be achieved by traditional meter reading methods and wired meter reading systems.
The multi-protocol transparent transmission function of EC04 module makes the smart meter reading solution applicable to a variety of access environments and basically can meet the access of mainstream cloud platforms, while its industrial-grade hardware standard enables the device to work stably in low and high temperature environments, providing customers with stable data transmission.
In the era of high-speed development of the Internet of Things, intelligence, cloud-based, and platform-based have gradually become the mainstream trend, and it is a general trend to let smarter devices replace manpower to work, and it is believed that 4G wireless intelligent meter reading will also replace traditional human meter reading in the near future.
