Sensors are the workhorses of the digital age.\u00a0 They are locational, time stamped recorders of status change.\u00a0 In network terms, Sensors get a lot of attention for the outsized role\u00a0 they play in conversations about the Internet of Things or IoT.\u00a0 In truth, Sensors are simple, basic and useful.\u00a0 They can tell you when something is hot, or not.\u00a0 When something is wet, or not.\u00a0 When something is open, or not. When someplace is occupied, or not.\u00a0 When something is in motion and where it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General Packet connects wireless sensors to our own Network Stack using the LoRa protocol.\u00a0 According to the LoRa Alliance, the industry trade group shepherding this corner of the IoT industry, LoRaWAN\u00ae<\/sup> is \u00a0\u201ca Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery operated \u2018things\u2019 to the internet in regional, national or global networks, and targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility and localization services.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s a poignant mouthful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to talk about what a sensor network can do for you just contact the IoT Team here at General Packet.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sensors are the workhorses of the digital age.\u00a0 They are locational, time stamped recorders of status change.\u00a0 In network terms, Sensors get a lot of attention for the outsized role\u00a0 they play in conversations about the Internet of Things or IoT.\u00a0 In truth, Sensors are simple, basic and useful.\u00a0 They […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":189,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
