IoT Technology Built for the Real World
Connecting devices, collecting data and turning it into useful information and action.
IoT Ventures develops connected technology for environments where conventional systems don't always work.
From low-power devices in the field to networks, cloud platforms, mobile applications and integration, we work across the technology stack to build complete LoRaWAN® IoT solutions around real-world requirements.

What makes IoT different
When the Things You Need to Monitor Are Out in the Real World
Long-range, low-power IoT brings information from physical environments into the systems where decisions are made.
A refrigeration unit is unplugged. A pump shows signs of failure. A water tank reaches a critical level. An animal escapes. A building develops a leak. A server room overheats. A remote asset goes offline. A hard-to-reach valve needs to close.
IoT makes it possible to detect these changes remotely, communicate them and turn them into information people can use.
The challenge is making that work reliably with limited power, constrained connectivity and little opportunity for maintenance. That's where the right combination of hardware, connectivity, software and systems architecture matters.
Connect
Bring that information reliably in from the field.
Understand
Convert raw readings into meaningful context.
Act
Alert people or trigger the right workflow.
LoRaWAN®
Long-Range, Low-Power Connectivity
When devices need to go further, use less power and keep working.
Many things don't have much to say, so they don't need to send large amounts of data continuously. They need to send the right information reliably from places where Wi-Fi or conventional connectivity isn't practical.
LoRaWAN® is designed for this kind of application. Low-power devices can communicate over long distances and in hard-to-reach places while using very little energy.
We've applied LoRaWAN® across farms, vessels, industrial sites and remote properties—where devices may need to operate for months or years without mains power.
Its flexible licensing supports private, public, community and hybrid networks, allowing coverage to evolve as requirements change.

Our IoT technology stack
From Device to Data to Action
An IoT solution needs to be useful and operationally manageable to succeed.
Our experience spans every layer, allowing us to design the technology as a complete system rather than treating each component in isolation.

AWS
LoRaWAN® Capability Built to Scale
An AWS-native, out-of-the-box platform for building LoRaWAN® solutions.
LXC removes much of the traditional complexity associated with IoT platforms, network management and device integration, enabling rapid deployment of LoRaWAN-based solutions.
Built on services including AWS Lambda, IoT Core, S3, ECS, DynamoDB, LXC helps organisations move from pilot to production faster, with lower operational risk and more predictable costs.
Create a new AWS account, extend an existing one or we can set one up for you and deploy LXC into your account directly or through AWS Marketplace. Configure LXC for your business and get started.
LXC platform
A Reusable Foundation for LoRaWAN® IoT
Build on proven technology instead of starting from scratch.
LXC provides the shared capabilities teams need so they can focus on solving business problems rather than rebuilding the IoT plumbing for every application.
Problems LXC solves
- Assets and networks need to be managed
- Information needs to be understood and acted upon
- Network coverage needs to be extendable
- Solutions need to be operationally manageable
- Information needs to be logically organised
- Solutions need to be tailored and integrated
- Geography needs to be understood
- Devices need to be managed and supported
Device connectivity
Connect and manage distributed LoRaWAN® devices through one platform.
Data management
Receive, process and make device data available to applications.
Monitoring & alerts
Surface important changes so they can be acted on quickly.
Application development
Build dashboards, interfaces and customer applications.
Reusable architecture
Apply proven technology across use cases without rebuilding the foundation.
