muy caliente!


Fast / BIG Packets are all of the rage!

Low latency is the goal at hand.

Cloud moving to the edge

AI, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, yada, yada, yada!

SEXY STUFF!!!!!


… but,

The data throughput requirements for the vast majority of workflow enabled and advantaged by IoT sensors:

➢ Have LOW reporting frequency requirements➢ Need little power, but lots of battery life due to the environment where they operate➢ Perform ONE function➢ Might be kinda far away➢ Don’t care about latency➢ Are not spendy

NOT SEXY STUFF!


Small packets from single/dual function sensors deliver over 70% of the of IoT today

Most messages are single threaded, repetitive and based on alarm or variant state

80% SAVINGS & 49 kt GHG REDUCTION

Just like with any job, the right tool gets the job done. Street lights are tools for citizen safety and traffic management. LPWAN enables dimming, lighting schedules, large event traffic corridor lighting, and emergency response lighting. The LPWAN connected lighting solution pays for itself and drastically reduces greenhouse gas emissions without touching the battery.

USECASE EXAMPLE - STREET LIGHTING

$100/hr COST TO OPERATE GARBAGE TRUCK

Waste management, whether done well or not, is one of the first things tourists notice when visiting a city. It is also noticed each time a budget is drawn up. LPWAN waste management solutions keep cities collecting garbage when and where needed, reducing greenhouse gases, waste, and waste collection costs. You and your visitors will notice.

USECASE EXAMPLE - WASTE MANAGEMENT

82% REDUCTION IN WATER LEAKAGE

As cities grapple with water shortages, LPWAN solutions detect leaks so that cities know what’s happening out there from their own command center. See the whole picture, understand system flow, and make informed decisions with the LPWAN -connected water management system.

USECASE EXAMPLE - WATER & WASTEWATER MGT.

REVERSE 911

LPWAN -enabled early warning flood sensors allow emergency personnel to close roads before they completely flood. That way, drivers can adjust their path home or to work before things become too crazy. It also enables reverse 911 notifications so that those who are in dangerous areas are warned and can evacuate before their lives are in danger.

CO2 PATROL

LPWAN pollution control solution measures oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, humidity, and particulates. LPWAN enables you to make informed decisions as you steer pollution reduction efforts. Pollution is a problem we can solve.

USECASE EXAMPLE - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

100% CONTROL

Cities not only pay for the power they use, but some manage their municipal grid as well. LPWAN metering solutions allows for load control switching and advanced interaction for remote monitoring of electricity use.

30x ROI & 6 MONTH PAYOFF

If you are a city that manages its own power, you know the challenge of maintaining power in smooth times and in emergencies. LPWAN smart grid solution tells you where in the grid outages actually occur, right when they happen. This drastically reduces operational, maintenance, and repair costs. We give power back to the city.

USECASE EXAMPLE – ENERGY METERING & SMART GRID

70% CROP INCREASE NEEDED BY 2050

Soil conditions vary even across a few dozen acres and from year to year. LPWAN connected nitrate and water sensors allows for precision nutrition and irrigation. With best in class battery life, our solution allows you to increase yields with precision for years without touching the battery.

Low cost, low-power and secure, this network has distinct advantages over cellular, Wi-Fi, and other emerging connectivity technologies for the IoT market.

The Next Generation of LPWANs for IoTLow Power Wide Area Networks are the key to unlock the enormous potential of IoT solutions. Experts estimate that over 70% of the IoT market will be best suited to LPWAN connectivity. LPWANs enable value driven solutions which can unlock immediate ROI by enabling devices to connect over very long ranges (~15 miles) while delivering very long battery power life (~10 years) with an extremely low power-device cost.

• Clients in areas are deploying sensors for many use cases

• LPWAN radios connect low bandwidth (1000 Kbps) sensors with moderate latency requirements for a using unlicensed spectrum

• Low cost, better battery performance than standard LTE
