Published: 3.2.2020
IoT is a standard part of Digita’s business. Digita’s LoRaWAN network that covers the whole of Finland uses LoRa (Long Range) technology, which is the first technology in the world that was developed specifically for the Internet of Things, and it is already used as a global telecommunications standard.
IoT solutions based on LoRaWAN are affordable, long-lasting and practically maintenance-free: sensors are lightweight and easy to install, with batteries lasting for up to ten years.
For Digita, IoT sensor technology is not merely a beautiful future vision but everyday life: all sensors and other equipment can be delivered from our warehouse already today.
