on What Matters
Build solutions that give you better visibility of the assets, equipment and environments your business relies on.
IoT Ventures helps organisations collect information from the physical world and turn it into useful data, insights, alerts and actions.
LXC provides the foundation for building an end to end solution around the things you need to monitor — without having to start from scratch.
The problem
The Sensor Is Usually
The Sensor Is Usually
the Easy Part
The challenge is turning information from the physical world into something your business can actually use.
You probably know exactly what you need to monitor. Equipment in remote locations. Water levels. Environmental conditions. Battery health. The location or status of critical assets.
But collecting that data is only the first step.
To create a useful solution, devices need to communicate reliably, data needs to be processed, the right people need to be notified, and the information may need to connect with the systems your organisation already uses and the overall solution needs to be managed itself.
Building all of that from the ground up can be a significant project in itself, distracting you from your real goals.
Why LoRaWAN®
Explore our technology
Built for Assets That Don't Live Behind a Desk
LoRaWAN® is designed to connect devices over long distances while using very little power and costing very little.
Many of the assets organisations need to monitor are spread across large sites, remote locations or environments where traditional connectivity is impractical or expensive.
LoRaWAN® is well suited to devices that need to send relatively small amounts of data over long distances while operating on battery power for extended periods.
That makes it a practical option for monitoring physical assets and conditions without needing constant access to mains power or traditional internet connectivity.

The Foundation for Your LoRaWAN® Solution
LXC provides a starting point for building connected solutions around the way your business actually operates.
IoT Ventures LXC brings together the core components needed to move from connected LoRaWAN® devices to useful information and action.
Rather than designing and building every layer from scratch, we use LXC as the foundation for developing solutions around your specific requirements.
It provides a starting point for connecting devices, handling data, monitoring conditions, generating alerts and integrating information with other systems. From there, the solution can be shaped around the assets, people and processes that matter to your organisation.

What LXC provides
A Giant Head Start
A Giant Head Start
for Your Project
A working end-to-end solution from day one—ready to scale and evolve as your needs do.
The following capabilities are available out of the box:
Designed to work together from the outset02
Devices
Turn on a device and it begins sending messages through your gateway and network to LXC, where the data becomes visible.
Each device can be linked to an entity that turns its messages into business information—supporting configurable scoring, alerts and analysis.
03
Mobile App
A downloadable app that gives users access to devices and information while they are in the field.
- Connect to a deviceUse NFC or Bluetooth, depending on the device, to view details such as battery level and network status.
- Connect to your systemView messages, readings and other operational information from LXC.
- Receive notificationsGet LXC notifications through the phone's familiar notification controls.
04
Web App
A ready-to-use operational layer for understanding assets, managing devices and connecting information with your wider business.
Operational information
See raw device messages, entity readings, calculated normal ranges and scores based on your configured parameters.
Domains & dashboards
Organise entities, devices, areas and teams into domains and groups, then understand their state through a clear hierarchy.
Intelligence
Make device and entity information available for business intelligence tools, or export smaller data sets to a spreadsheet.
Business objects
Use common objects—including customers, users, areas, places, entities and devices—to group and associate information.
APIs & integration
Connect LXC with other platforms and workflows across your organisation's technology ecosystem.
Equipment monitoring
Continuously monitor gateways and devices for missing communications, declining batteries, low power and network congestion.
Incidents & alerts
Define incidents from your own rules, readings, scores and normal ranges. Users can subscribe, respond and follow escalation paths.
Remote configuration
Adjust supported device settings such as GPS precision, message frequency, energy consumption and broadcast power.
Coverage
Assess coverage across mixed networks for the specific places and operational areas that matter to you.
System logs
Trace messages received, alerts issued and other system events to understand exactly what has happened.
LXC-in-a-Box
From Proof of Concept to Production
Start with a practical test, then build towards the solution you actually need.
IoT projects often need to demonstrate technical feasibility and business value before a larger deployment. LXC-in-a-Box provides a ready-made environment for connecting devices, testing an application and collecting real-world data without first building the entire IoT infrastructure.
Once requirements are proven, the solution can be extended, customised and deployed at greater scale within AWS.
Test
Connect devices and validate the use case.
Learn
Collect real-world data and understand performance.
Develop
Add the applications, integrations and functionality needed for production.
Scale
Expand using AWS infrastructure designed to support growth.
Built on AWS

Designed to Scale and Fit with What You Already Have
Bring connected asset data into the systems and cloud environment your organisation already uses.
A new solution shouldn't mean creating another disconnected system.
LXC leverages AWS cloud infrastructure and works alongside your existing applications and workflows, allowing data from connected devices to feed into the tools your organisation already relies on.

How we workTalk to our team
Start with the Problem
You don't need to begin with the technical solution already figured out.
We start by understanding what you need to know, monitor or manage. From there, we define the connected solution and bring the right pieces together—taking care of the underlying IoT complexity.
That can include devices, connectivity, software and integration with your existing systems. As the project develops, the solution can evolve too.
Understand the problem
What do you need better visibility of in order to manage it well?
Work out the solution
What entities, information, sensors, connectivity and alerts are needed?
Build and deploy
Put the solution to work in the real world.
Keep building
Use what you learn to refine, extend and improve it.
Proven in practice
Here's What That Looks Like in Practice
The same platform and approach have been used to solve very different problems.
From agriculture and marine monitoring to animal health and industrial systems, LXC turns physical assets and environments into connected, useful data.
The applications differ, but the approach is consistent: connect the right things, capture the information that matters and turn it into something people can act on.
