Local collection:
Receive readings from Wireless M-Bus and Modbus devices.
Building edge infrastructure
A local gateway that turns building meter networks into cloud data.
For many housing companies and apartment buildings, the most efficient architecture is a building-level gateway. It collects meter readings from local devices, monitors communication health and forwards data to the QualMeters cloud for portals, alerts and integrations.

What the gateway does
The gateway acts as the bridge between field meters and cloud intelligence. It should support local protocol adapters, secure uplink communication, device health reporting, buffered transmission and remote diagnostics.
Secure uplink:
Forward meter data to QualMeters using encrypted communication.
Store and forward:
Buffer readings during temporary connection interruptions.
Remote diagnostics:
Monitor gateway availability, device communication and data freshness.
Lifecycle management:
Support installation validation, firmware updates and maintenance workflows.

Best-fit environments
A gateway deployment is especially useful in apartment buildings with many meters, basement meter locations, mixed communication technologies or a need for centralized property-level management.
