More and more organizations want to work more efficiently and get a grip on their energy consumption. Two of the largest shopping centers in Belgium are also taking this step.<\/p>\r\n<p>Together with my colleague Geert Bruwier (Account Manager IoT) we carried out a site survey to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcs-nl.com\/private-iot-netwerken\/private-lora\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Private LoRaWAN network<\/a>\u00a0to set up.<\/p>\r\n<h4><strong>Monitor sustainable electricity and gas consumption<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p>In large shopping centres, energy billing is often done via a single central connection. As a result, shopkeepers have no insight into their own individual electricity and gas consumption.<\/p>\r\n<p>By focusing on sub-metering, that changes. At these two large shopping centers, 200 smart electricity meters are read via a P1 ITalks 1608 LoRaWAN Device<strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>The gas meters are also read via LoRaWAN pulse counting.<\/p>\r\n<h4><strong>Sub-metering for insight into individual consumption<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p>This way, shopkeepers can see exactly how much energy they use. Shopping centres are given the opportunity to set up monthly invoicing according to sub-metering. This means that every shopkeeper pays for his own actual consumption. This way, shopkeepers are stimulated to be more economical with their electricity and gas consumption.<\/p>\r\n<p>Furthermore, our solution goes a step further here. While standard smart meters only transmit data once a day, our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcs-nl.com\/lpwan-sensoren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LoRaWAN sensors<\/a>\u00a0send real-time data multiple times a day. This gives facility managers and retailers immediate insight and allows them to easily make adjustments if necessary.<\/p>\r\n<h4><strong>Combining knowledge through collaboration<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p>At MCS we believe in the power of collaboration. By combining our expertise with skilled partners, we create innovative solutions that have a direct impact on the end user.<\/p>\r\n<p>For this solution we installed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcs-nl.com\/lora-gateways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LoRaWAN gateways<\/a>, An\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcs-nl.com\/5g-technologie\/mobiele-routers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4G router<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcs-nl.com\/remote-management\/smartcluster-vpn-remote-access-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SmartCluster VNP Remote Access platform<\/a>The devices were pre-configured for the system integrator, so he could install the components directly and easily on site.<\/p>\r\n<h4><strong>Measuring is knowing: the site survey<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p>In order to set up an optimally functioning LoRaWAN network, we performed extensive measurements together with our partner in about 4 hours. In both public spaces and in shops. This allowed us to determine the number of gateways required for optimal network coverage.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-24928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mcs-nl.com\/media\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Site-survey-MCS-shoppingcentra-Belgie.jpg\" alt=\"Site survey MCS shoppingcentra Belgi\u00eb\" width=\"384\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>Our own developed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcs-nl.com\/producten\/lorawan-field-test-device-868mhz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LoRa Site Survey Tool<\/a>\u00a0helped us visualize the reception values such as RSSI values and spreading factors (SF7-12). Then the facility services provide the power supply to the gateways. With that the system is ready for use.<\/p>\r\n<h4><strong>Knowing more<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p>Are you curious about how we can help your organization with smart IoT solutions?
