The Czech Republic’s CRA partners with Sweden’s Netmore to enhance its LoRaWAN IoT services, focusing on utilities and real estate. Leveraging Netmore’s PaaS, CRA aims to scale its 80%-population-covered network.
Netmore and Cellnex UK are transforming IoT network coverage with LoRaWAN gateways on 200 street poles, enhancing connectivity for smart water meters. Netmore’s partnership with Yorkshire Water aims to replace 1.3 million meters, benefiting 360,000 households.
Cisco’s decision to exit the LoRaWAN market by 2025 marks a significant shift in the IoT landscape. While phasing out LoRaWAN products, Cisco encourages exploration of alternative suppliers through the LoRa Alliance. This ecosystem’s robust growth and diverse vendor availability ensure ongoing development and adaptation, meeting evolving global business needs.
Cellnex Telecom, a Spanish wireless telecommunications infrastructure and services company, and Everynet, a leading LPWA pioneer and network operator, have signed an agreement to deploy IoT networks in Italy, the UK and Ireland based on LoRaWAN technology. The IoT networks will utilize the Cellnex infrastructure in these three countries, and will be dependent on the Everynet network solution. Cellnex not only provides towers, but also has its own IoT management platform. For data collection, Cellnex will provide an integrated IoT platform for real-time management and diagnostics, and the platform also includes the ability to immediately act predictively or preventively, manually or automatically. In addition, Everynet will be responsible for providing and managing the LoRaWAN network infrastructure. Both companies have stated the network will be available for a wide range of IoT devices and use-cases, including industry 4.0 services for asset tracking or monitoring, as well as smart cities…
Smart infrastructure company Boston Networks has announced the launch of an Internet of Things (IoT) network for Scotland at the Glasgow Science Centre. During the first stage of the IoT Scotland program, Glasgow will get 22 long range wide-area network (LoRaWAN) gateways. This will provide 99 percent of the required coverage, making the city the most LoRA-covered in the UK, “with the potential to become the smartest”. IoT Scotland will manage a wireless sensor network to collect data from and exchange that data between compatible IoT devices, and transmit the information without the need for mobile phone or Wi-Fi connectivity. The initiative will enable businesses and public sector organisations to develop new and innovative applications, supporting the expansion of smart places throughout the country. Falk Bleyl, Chief technology officer at Boston Networks, said, “We are excited to be leading this pioneering project to build and operate the IoT…
