Protocol stack mioty®4OMS

Overview
mioty® is a wireless LPWAN communication protocol for massive IoT. It uses patented telegram splitting to transmit data in multiple sub‑packages across different times and frequencies, providing high interference immunity and ultra‑low power consumption suitable for large metering deployments.

mioty®4OMS for metering
mioty®4OMS combines mioty® radio transmission with the OMS Generation 5 data format. OMS standardises payloads for meter interoperability while mioty® delivers scalable, long‑range and energy‑efficient radio transport for smart metering systems.

Key benefits

• Interference immunity through patented telegram splitting
• Ultra‑low power consumption to extend battery lifetime
• Long radio range (data transfer over long distances; up to ~11 km reported in favourable conditions)
• High scalability: supports very large deployments (tens of thousands of transmitters)
• Low packet error rates (<1% reported vs. >10% for some alternative LPWANs)
• End‑to‑end (point‑to‑point) encryption for secure data transmission
• Compatibility with OMS Generation 5 for interoperability across meter types and vendors

Portfolio examples (mioty®4OMS enabled products)

• HYDRUS 2.0 — ultrasonic smart water meter with mioty®4OMS for long‑range communication and reliable data capture in challenging installations
• IZAR IoT Gateway Premium — multi‑connectivity hub and base station enabling mioty®, LoRaWAN® and OMS radio technologies in one gateway
• IZAR RC 868 I MIOTY — mioty® module designed to clip onto Diehl Metering inductive modular meters; supports mobile reading and fixed networks

Operational advantages

• One network for multiple applications: meters and IoT devices coexist on the same radio infrastructure
• Simple installation: plug‑&‑play operation possible for fixed networks and mobile reading without a network management server
• Cost efficiency: extended coverage reduces number of receivers required, lowering installation and operating costs
• High service levels: capability to deliver frequent and reliable measurements enables near real‑time network visibility

Security and interoperability
Data flows are encrypted end‑to‑end and message integrity is protected by signatures so only authorised servers can read payloads. mioty®4OMS conforms to OMS Generation 5 and certified devices interoperate across the metering value chain.

FAQ highlights

• Difference between mioty® and mioty®4OMS: mioty® is the radio protocol; mioty®4OMS pairs mioty® transmission with OMS Generation 5 data formatting for metering.
• Hybrid networks: mixing mioty®4OMS and LoRaWAN® devices is supported via multiconnectivity gateways.
• Data security: mioty® uses end‑to‑end encryption and message signatures to ensure confidentiality and integrity.
