Vitex launches serial production of a line of wireless NB-IoT controllers for the housing and utilities sector.

Vitex has completed the full development cycle and launched mass production of a new line of NB-IoT wireless data transmission controllers designed for utility and municipal infrastructure applications. The devices are already in production and are being successfully deployed in the field.

The product line includes the following models:

• 040 — controller supporting up to 4 pulse meters
  
  
• 040RS — controller with 3 pulse meter inputs and an intelligent MODBUS meter via RS-485
  
  
• 041 — controller with 1 pulse input and an output for remote valve control (water, gas, and other media)

All devices in the line are originally designed for long-term autonomous operation powered by batteries. The use of a modern component base, energy-efficient hardware design, and optimized embedded software ensures multi-year maintenance-free operation, which is essential for installations in basements, manholes, and other hard-to-access locations.

Vitex’s proprietary hardware and software solutions provide reliable data acquisition, event monitoring, and stable communication while maintaining extremely low power consumption and eliminating the need for external power sources. The devices seamlessly integrate with the proprietary VITEX® NET service and with third-party information systems through open data exchange protocols such as MQTT.

Ecosystem and integration

The controller line is part of the unified Vitex digital ecosystem and integrates with the proprietary VITEX® NET service for data collection, storage, and processing.

Thanks to support for open data exchange protocols, including MQTT, Vitex solutions can be easily integrated with third-party customer systems such as SCADA, billing platforms, Smart City solutions, as well as remote water supply management systems including AQUA, and other IT systems without vendor lock-in.

This approach ensures flexibility, scalability, and long-term system evolution.

Why NB-IoT?

Compared to legacy GSM 2G networks, NB-IoT is specifically designed for autonomous metering and monitoring devices:

• ultra-low power consumption, ideal for battery-powered systems
  
  
• deep indoor and underground signal penetration
  
  
• high reliability and connection stability
  
  
• long-term support by mobile operators as an industry-standard technology

NB-IoT enables modern metering and control systems without dependence on power infrastructure or frequent maintenance.

A step toward the future of utilities

The launch of this new controller line marks another step by Vitex toward delivering autonomous, reliable, and future-ready solutions for the digital transformation of utility infrastructure. We continue to follow global technology trends while offering solutions engineered for long-term operation.
