The picture was taken diagonally upwards towards the ceiling of the office space. As a result, you can see the dark brown ceiling with white ceiling elements and silver pipes stretching across the entire ceiling in the background. In the lower left part of the background, you can see several office desks and glass partitions. You can also see a man sitting with his back to the viewer. On the right, in the background, you can see more glass partitions, more office desks and chairs and a white wall with two large bright windows. The entire background is blurry, as the photo focuses on the man sitting at a white office desk with a light grey laptop in the foreground, from which the photo was taken. The man is wearing a light blue shirt with a dark blue jumper over it and black square glasses. His hair and beard are greying, and he is smiling as he talks to a customer about their Energy-Management-Minute-Review provided by ista.

How does it work?

The symphonic M-Bus system from ista operates at an advanced level and enables the central and real-time monitoring of multiple utility meters, including heat, water, electricity, and gas meters. This system uses a master-slave architecture, where one master device communicates with up to 2000 slave devices (meters) and collects and processes data via the M-Bus network (Meter-Bus). This wired bus system ensures reliable and secure data transmission, which is encrypted for additional security. The M-Bus is designed for minimal energy consumption and can operate over long cable distances, supporting various building layouts.
