A communication module acquires consumption data from a meter, in particular consumption quantities of electricity, gas, water or heat. The communication module serves to receive consumption data from the meter and to enable the transmission of the consumption data of the meter to a superordinate data collection device. The module has a housing, a control apparatus, its own energy source, an antenna, a first communication interface using which the consumption data can be transmitted from the meter to the communication module, and a second communication interface using which the consumption data can be further transmitted from the communication module to the data collection device. The first communication interface is a standardized close-range interface which supports a plurality of standardized transmission protocols as options and/or the second communication interface is a standardized long-range interface which supports a plurality of standardized transmission protocols as options.
