Our Technology
LoRaWAN® is the default standard for long-range, low power Internet of Things.
IoT — Internet of Things
IoT is about Things being connected to the internet (in the way that today most people are connected to the internet). With “Things” there is a greater focus on measuring and monitoring. There is also a focus on activating things (switching on, off, up, down, etc.).
Things are a little different from people:
○ they are vastly less valuable, and often smaller
○ they are far more numerous, and don't have as much to say
○ they often need to operate away from power sources for extended periods of time
LoRaWAN® Network
LoRaWAN® uses a radio spectrum that allows anyone to establish a network (unlike mobile networks that are managed by Telcos). This makes LoRaWAN® far cheaper than mobile networks.
LoRaWAN® is well suited to measurement/ monitoring/ activating devices that are:
○ significantly less expensive than smartphones or laptops
○ maybe smaller than phones/ laptops
○ don't have as much to say, and can operate on batteries for extended periods of time
