What does IoT do for electricity companies?

IoT is part of Digita’s day-to-day business. Digita’s LoRaWAN network that covers the whole of Finland uses LoRa (Long Range) technology, which is the first technology in the world developed specifically for the Internet of Things and has already become a global telecommunications standard. IoT solutions based on LoRaWAN are inexpensive, long-lasting and practically maintenance free. The sensors they utilise are lightweight and simple to install, and they have a battery life of up to ten years.

To Digita, IoT sensor technology is not just a rosy vision of the future but an everyday reality – all the sensors and other equipment we offer can be found in our warehouse today.

IoT offers solutions to many problems electricity companies face

Finnish conditions, including storms and heavy snowfall, often result in inconvenient and expensive problems for electricity companies. These can be more effectively managed with LoRaWAN-based IoT solutions that enhance business activities. These solutions can also:

• Save time
• Reduce repair costs
• Reduce safety risks
• Increase predictability
• Reduce waste
• Comprehensive IoT solutions
