LoRaWAN Optimise operations

LoRaWAN OPTIMISE OPERATIONS LoRaWAN connectivity allows you to manage operations as effectively as possible.

Sensors, meters and monitors are increasingly being deployed across the world in an array of Key benefits use cases, making devices smarter and capable of generating useful information. Tapping Low cost into these rich data insights from connected Requiring no existing infrastructure, LoRaWAN is the most things is a major value for businesses and cost effective IoT solution for large quantities of users organisations across the sectors, with agriculture and smart city projects serving as Energy efficient prime examples. The lowest energy footprint, while enabling long life device autonomy Power constraints at the installation site have previously proven a barrier to connectivity, Global availability but Inmarsat’s long range wide area network Ubiquitous network coverage even in remote locations (LoRaWAN) compliant solution connects IoT endpoints at low cost and low power Secure consumption. LoRaWAN security design adheres to state-of-the-art This means end customers can get long principles and uses of standard, well-vetted algorithms, and distance wireless connectivity for battery end-to-end security powered IoT devices wherever they are situated, allowing a farmer to monitor disparate assets Reliability like livestock in real-time, for example. The low latency high reliability of L-band services holds a distinct advantage in catering to applications such as remote asset monitoring that requires reliable, always-on connectivity Speed The IoT applications involve an exchange of data between interconnected objects to facilitate quicker decision-making and enhance business processes WHY LORAWAN? LoRaWAN is low-cost, global and secure making it a highly efficient solution.

The ability to gather, analyse and transform The technology is set to be an integral pillar in raw data to optimise industrial processes the emerging Industrial Internet of Things, with is affecting every aspect of the modern a broad and diverse ecosystem of sensors and enterprise. This deep visibility is necessary to applications within its remit. LoRaWAN is the make faster, smarter decisions, impacting top perfect fit for use cases across Smart Cities, and bottom lines. Faced with this challenge, Industry 4.0, Utilities, Building Management companies are looking for powerful, flexible and and Smart Agriculture. scalable IoT platforms to underpin their digital Simple, scalable and easy to operate, it transformation journey. LoRaWAN is applicable offers a unique low power IoT communication to any enterprise IoT use case, is future-proof infrastructure to enable an infinite number of and able to grow as you progress in your digital industrial use cases. A LoRaWAN allows you business transformation to deploy a dedicated and fully controlled LoRaWAN is a Low Power Wide Area LoRaWAN network for a fast use case Network (LPWAN) protocol that supports enablement. All components of the network, low-cost, mobile, and secure bi-directional including sensors, gateways and data routing communication for Internet of Things (IoT), are managed from a unique and easy-to-use machine-to-machine (M2M), smart city, and user interface. industrial applications. The LoRaWAN protocol LoRaWAN is one of the-facto standards of is optimized for low power consumption and is the Industrial Internet of Things. Leveraging its designed to support large networks with millions long range, low power capabilities and vibrant of devices. Innovative LoRaWAN features ecosystem of sensors & applications, LoRaWAN include support for redundant operation, is the perfect fit for the use cases of the geolocation, low-cost, and low-power verticals of Smart Cities, Industry 4.0, Utilities, applications. Devices can even run on energy Building management or Smart Agriculture harvesting technologies enabling the mobility and ease of use of IoT EXPLORING THE INMARSAT LORAWAN SOLUTION Satellite connectivity offers companies Internet of Everything, Everywhere.

Deploying satellite connectivity to complement Inmarsat LoRaWAN Solution primary elements: terrestrial networks for IoT applications LoRaWAN End Device transforms the Internet of Things into the “Internet of Every-thing Everywhere”. Long Range Relay (LRR) The Inmarsat LoRaWAN solution is a set of functions and modules combined with Long Range Controller (LRC) Inmarsat Core Satellite Network Infrastructure, BGAN M2M Network Services which enables you to deploy, operate and sell LoRaWAN networks and connectivity. Operating Support System (OSS) It provides connectivity between objects Application Server Integration that supports LoRaWAN modulation and information systems or applications. The Inmarsat LoRaWAN Solution combines the ThingPark LoRaWAN network with Inmarsat BGAN M2M services to provide LoRaWAN network enablement for users operating anywhere in the world. The Base Station or Gateway is a physical LoRaWAN Base Station device that interconnects to the internetworking layer by means of a BGAN M2M terminal and services LORAWAN USE CASES Global L-band coverage means LoRaWAN can connect urban and remote environments across any sector.

Smart Cities Connect city assets to provide better services, Why satellite? including waste management, parking, street Leading M2M/IoT players such as Vodafone Satellite enabled LoRaWAN connectivity lighting, and public safety. continue to partner with Inmarsat I-4 satellite is ideal for connecting low bandwidth network to provide global L-band coverage applications like meter readings, a key function Gas and water metering through all weather conditions. This allows that can have a major impact in developing Give utility customers the ability to remotely for fixed-line and mobile connectivity far regions. Enhanced automation in these read and control gas and water meters, and beyond the reach of terrestrial networks to suit regions can be achieved with improved levels lower your technology costs. requirements of many verticals, i.e. agriculture, of extraction and management, resulting in utilities, oil and gas, and transportation. advanced disease prediction, enhanced yields, productivity and decreased waste. Asset tracking Automation of these industries in developed Obtain location information for people and regions has already advanced, and so assets, including devices, vehicles, pets, and the highest growth potential will remain in cattle and detect fire, theft. developing regions working towards better technology capabilities. For low bandwidth Smart agriculture applications such as meter readings, satellite Enables detection, monitoring and control is an excellent fit, especially in developing of a wide variety of key agricultural data: soil regions where it provides instant infrastructure temperature and moisture; weather, rainfall that is not reliant on patchy terrestrial and water quality. infrastructure. Greater levels of automation in these regions will be achieved through better data extraction and management with immediate impact on applications such as crop growth monitoring and disease prediction, productivity through enhanced yields, management of shortfalls, and reduced use of fuel and fertilisers.
