IoT and positioning
Published: 3.2.2020
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 US, 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.
Possibilities provided by LoRaWAN in positioning services
The number of available positioning services has increased considerably in step with the advances of technology. Digita’s LoRaWAN network enables easy and cost-effective tracking of equipment and machines where it has previously been difficult to implement tracking by means of traditional solutions – for example, in the logistics and construction industry and equipment and machine rental services.
The LoRaWAN network technology offers many benefits to the developers of positioning services:
- Positioning devices are affordable, recyclable, easy to install and virtually maintenance-free
- Batteries are energy-efficient and last for several years
- Bluetooth enables you to monitor the movements of items with no employee presence required
- In addition, the devices can be used to measure temperatures in addition to location
- The data collected through the network can be used to create useful monitoring reports
