Case Study: metr (Berlin PropTech) achieves reliable multi‑network connectivity and 50% lower data costs for smart apartment buildings with EMnify

metr - Customer Case Study

metr is a Berlin-based PropTech startup digitizing apartment buildings with its m-gate IoT gateway and a cloud platform for submetering and remote monitoring of heating and water systems. Facing connectivity limits in older, concrete buildings and testing NB‑IoT/LoRa constraints, metr needed a reliable way to send utility readings from retrofit m-gates; they chose EMnify for cellular connectivity using EMnify IoT SIMs, the EMnify Portal and REST API for integrated SIM management.

EMnify delivered a multi-network “network of networks” solution plus API-driven SIM activation and portal visibility, letting metr deploy m-gates anywhere in the DACH region and automate provisioning during installation. The partnership enabled over 800 m-gates to be connected, cut metr’s monthly data volume by 50% through optimized gateway processing, and provided flexible pricing and operational insight — outcomes that freed metr to focus on product development and scaling.
