Coiote IoT DM for Smart Water Metering

If several platforms manage different parts of your fleet, device operations, diagnostics and FOTA can become fragmented. Coiote provides a common LwM2M device management layer across vendors and connectivity types. You can migrate devices in waves using LwM2M bootstrap, while existing systems continue operating, avoiding the need for a disruptive, fleet-wide switchover.

Coiote supports deployments ranging from pilots to millions of connected devices. Its capabilities include bulk operations, automated device grouping, monitoring and large-scale FOTA management. You can expand in phases while maintaining visibility and control over fleet operations.

Coiote is built on the open LwM2M standard, helping you avoid dependence on a single device manufacturer or proprietary device management protocol. Standard-compliant devices can be managed by other compatible LwM2M servers, while open interfaces enable integration with your existing systems. You retain flexibility over your device ecosystem and future platform choices.

No. Coiote complements your existing MDM, billing and analytics systems by managing the device layer underneath them. It handles device connectivity, monitoring, configuration, diagnostics and firmware updates, while your existing systems continue to manage their respective business processes. APIs and event interfaces connect device-level operations with your existing architecture.

AVSystem is ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Coiote supports security mechanisms including DTLS/TLS, PSK and certificate-based authentication, EST certificate lifecycle management, role-based access controls, tenant separation and SSO. IPsec tunnels can provide an additional layer of network-level protection for deployments requiring secure communication across private networks. Deployment options include SaaS in supported regional environments, private cloud and on-premises installations, helping you meet security and data residency requirements.

LwM2M over CoAP/UDP supports lightweight communication patterns suited to battery-powered meters expected to operate for 10–15 years. Coiote supports queue mode and configurable reporting and notification frequencies to help reduce unnecessary communication. Efficient data transfer and DTLS Connection ID, where supported by the device and configuration, can further reduce communication overhead and repeated security handshakes. Actual battery consumption depends on device implementation, network conditions and management settings.

AVSystem brings 18 years of industry experience, more than 250 customers across 60 countries and a team of more than 200 employees. Its dedicated IoT engineering expertise and experience with industrial and telecommunications deployments provide a foundation for long-term cooperation.
Coiote's use of open standards and interfaces helps protect your investment from proprietary technology dependencies. Flexible deployment options support different infrastructure and data sovereignty requirements, while ongoing platform maintenance, software updates and security improvements help keep deployments operational as technology evolves. Enterprise support and SLA arrangements can provide an agreed framework for service continuity and issue resolution throughout the programme.

Coiote helps manage firmware updates across heterogeneous fleets through capabilities designed to make large-scale campaigns more controlled and predictable:

• Device grouping - Organize devices by manufacturer, model, firmware version or other relevant attributes to target the right devices with the right firmware.

• Configurable campaigns - Adapt update parameters to different device types and deployment requirements.

• Phased rollouts - Update devices in batches to control campaign progression and avoid unnecessary simultaneous traffic.

• Monitoring and diagnostics -Track update progress and device status to identify failures and investigate issues.

• Failure handling - Use available status and error information to distinguish temporary connectivity issues from problems requiring intervention before retrying.

• Remote management - Perform firmware maintenance remotely, reducing the need for costly field visits.
  
  

Yes. Coiote can monitor data reported by your meters and pass relevant events to your operational systems through APIs and event interfaces. For example, when a meter reports a battery level below 10%, an integrated workflow can email the responsible team or create a maintenance ticket. This helps you respond to issues without manually checking each meter. Email delivery and ticket creation require integration with the relevant systems.

OMA’s Water 2.0 initiative, which AVSystem participates in, is developing a common LwM2M profile for smart water metering. The aim is to give utilities a shared set of requirements they can reference in tenders and use to assess different suppliers. This can make offers easier to compare and reduce vendor-specific integration work, while preserving flexibility to source compatible meters from multiple manufacturers.
