In a recent release, Senet, a provider of cloud-based software, global connectivity service platforms and network build-out for the Internet of Things (IoT), announced network server enhancements for its cloud-based, Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) connectivity platforms. The new features are designed to simplify the deployment, management and monetization of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) and applications.
It’s no longer about when LPWAN connectivity will be widely available. With coverage and connectivity readiness now in over 80 countries, Senet has established a global LoRaWAN network through the modernization of IoT connectivity and its Low Power Wide Area Virtual Network (LVN™) - an incentive-based ‘ConnectivityMarketplace’ in which operators, IoT infrastructure providers, solution providers and system integrators can immediately benefit from revenue-share models based on their contribution to the network buildout.
“Companies cannot afford to defer their IoT investment until 5G arrives or delay business growth opportunities based on the promise of NB-IoT or LTE Category M1 coverage at a future date to be determined,” said Bruce Chatterley, CEO, Senet. “With these new platform enhancements and our partner-centric engagement models, we’ve effectively broken the mold for reliable, secure and cost-effective IoTconnectivity and application deployment at massive scale.”
Senet has also launched an updated coverage map illustrating its global service delivery footprint—with coverage and connectivity readiness in over 80 countries. Senet has established a way for infrastructure providers to participate in the IoT marketplace through its Radio Access Network (RAN) Provider Services. Companies with physical assets such as towers, rooftops, billboards, light poles and municipality-owned locations can join the Senet LVN as a RAN Provider, by deploying LoRaWAN gateways and immediately share in the revenue generated by all end devices connecting to their radio access network.
