Overview
IWB is surveying the market for a future proof, high performance way to connect its utility meters. The notice says most gas, water and heat meters use Wired M-Bus, Wireless M-Bus with OMS radio or Modbus TCP, which no longer aligns with IWB’s long term communications strategy. This request for information is voluntary and unpaid, creates no contract relationship, and does not affect a later procurement. The stated response deadline of 30 October 2026 at 12:00 CET has passed.
