Asker Municipality - water and energy metering across residential, commercial and municipal sites.
Norway · Municipality & utilities
20,000+ meters on one console.
Asker Municipality runs a hybrid LoRaWAN and wM-Bus network of more than 20,000 water and energy meters - Kamstrup, Axioma and Apator side by side - feeding a single billing pipeline through Divako. Three vendors became one platform, one console, one support contract.

At a glance
The shape of the rollout
The widest range of LoRaWAN and wM-Bus technology in a single Nordic project today.
Network
LoRaWAN for city-wide coverage and wM-Bus concentrators in dense residential blocks - mixed battery and solar gateways.
Meters
Kamstrup, Axioma and Apator Ultrimis - water, heat and energy - provisioned and parsed against Divako's vendor-neutral device library.
Integrations
Native Komtek billing connector; YR weather, AWS S3 and Azure data-lake exports; REST + MQTT APIs for municipal teams.
The challenge
One municipality, three networks, no shared view.
Asker had the same problem most ambitious utilities run into when they scale: one protocol covers the open city well but struggles indoors; another protocol fits dense residential blocks but can't carry sensors miles from a gateway. The compromise - historically - was three separate vendors, three consoles, three contracts, and a billing team stitching it back together in spreadsheets.
The brief to Divako was direct: support every meter the municipality already had, every meter the next procurement might bring in, and present them all as one operational surface to the people doing the work.
- 20,000+ meters projected across mixed urban and suburban areas
- Multi-vendor reality - Kamstrup, Axioma, Apator all in play
- Komtek billing as the single source of truth for invoicing
- No appetite for a parallel system to maintain
What we built
Hybrid LoRaWAN + wM-Bus, one pipeline.
Divako runs the full chain from the meter in the ground to the line in Asker's billing system. LoRaWAN gateways - battery and solar where mains power isn't an option - cover the open city, while wM-Bus concentrators handle dense residential blocks. Every payload is parsed against a per-meter device profile, range- and drift-checked, and emitted as one harmonised measurement regardless of the meter underneath.
From there, Komtek billing exports run automatically. The municipality's own teams pull data via REST and MQTT for their internal dashboards. Network operations get one live coverage map across both protocols.
- LoRaWAN + wM-Bus on the same console, same alerts, same SLA
- Battery and solar gateways where wired power isn't available
- Native Komtek connector - no spreadsheet hand-off to billing
- REST, MQTT, AWS S3 and Azure data-lake exports out of the box
- Network planning, RSSI heat-maps and gateway redundancy in one view
Outcomes
What changed on day one
One console, not three
Three separate vendor consoles consolidated into a single operational surface. Same alerts, same RBAC, same SLA across both networks.
Automatic Komtek billing
Hourly meter readings land in Komtek without manual touch. The billing team works on exceptions, not on copy-paste.
Future-proof against new meters
When Apator Ultrimis came onto the bill of materials in 2024, the device library absorbed it - no rip-and-replace, no parallel ingest.
Live coverage, not surprises
Network gaps surface as alerts on the same dashboard - no waiting for a complaint to find out a gateway has drifted offline.
"Over 20,000 meters across LoRaWAN and wM-Bus, all on one platform - unique in a Nordic context. The architecture absorbs whatever protocol the next generation of meters arrives on."
