OMS® + LoRaWAN for End Devices

With OMS®/wM-Bus and LoRaWAN® in a high-performance dual stack, the advantages are obvious: Further standardization within smart metering applications and the use of existing LoRaWAN® networks facilitate the entry into IoT connectivity.

However, our dual stack is not only interesting for those getting started with IoT connectivity. This multi stack solution also enables a smooth transition phase for end users who already operate an OMS®/wM-Bus network and want to switch to LoRaWAN®.

Your benefits with our Protocol Stack Package

Well designed API (Application Programming Interface)

Easy to use API well-proven and used for several low-power radio stacks by STACKFORCE

Platform Interface now available as source code

Customization and fine tuning of platform driver​ Customization of radio settings (e.g., frequency)

Optimized power consumption

Power consumption is optimized through interrupt driven state management and the exclusion of polling.

Memory Requirements

The code sizes described above indicate the typical memory requirements for operating the fully equipped protocol stack as a library, including associated drivers. The values are based on the STMicroelectronics STM32WL5/WLE5: Nucleo-WL55JC reference hardware. The RAM requirements for LoRaWAN® FUOTA are not included in the values, as these are highly dependent on the application.

Frequently asked Questions

What is included in the STACKFORCE software package?

Our Protocol Stack package includes everything you need for integration:

  • Precompiled stack library
  • Hardware-specific drivers
  • Serial interface (UART, SPI, etc.)
  • Power management
  • Example applications for quick integration
  • Documentation

Is the source code open or encrypted? Can we make adjustments ourselves?

The Protocol Stack itself is delivered as object code and cannot be directly modified. The platform interface (including HAL and RF driver integration) is provided as source code. This allows you to:

  • Adapt the platform driver to your target hardware
  • Configure specific radio settings such as frequencies
  • Optimize driver behavior
  • Add your own components such as security and timers

For further adjustments to the stack itself, we are happy to support you with specific development services.

Our requirements are not fully covered by this stack. Can STACKFORCE make custom modifications?

Yes, that’s possible. In addition to our standard solutions, we offer customer-specific extensions of our Protocol Stacks. This enables us to implement your specific requirements so that the stack integrates seamlessly into your system environment.

My preferred hardware is not supported. What can I do?

We are happy to check compatibility with your specific hardware. If your hardware meets the minimum requirements for running a Protocol Stack, porting is generally possible. We can discuss the porting effort with you or provide our Platform Porting Guide so you can perform the porting yourself.

Can we test our preferred stack before making a decision?

Yes. You can request a free evaluation license and test the software in your target environment – without obligation and risk-free. More information about the evaluation offer can be found on our website under: Evaluation License.

Does STACKFORCE provide support for product certification? If so, how?

STACKFORCE utilizes a multi-stage testing process to ensure high software quality. This includes:

  • Unit, module, and firmware tests to check functionality and stability of individual components
  • Static code analysis to detect errors and vulnerabilities early
  • Automated system tests on simulated and real hardware
  • Regression tests to ensure that existing functionality continues to work reliably without introducing new errors.
