You may have heard the term “internet of things” / “internet of things” before, often in combination with “smart” devices. But what is it actually about, and what can it mean for your business operations? In this article we will discuss this in more detail.
Internet of things / smart devices
Simply put, this concerns devices that can communicate with other devices or systems via an internet connection. For example, think of a smart thermostat in your home, which you can read and set from a mobile app.
Smart: Remote devices
At home or within a company, you can often use your own internet connection via cables or WiFi, and devices can often be connected to the power grid. In all other cases, LoraWan technology offers a solution. Various providers, such as KPN, offer a LoraWan network. In fact, this is not much more than a (license-free) mobile network with some extra options. Smart devices that are suitable for this can be connected to it quite easily. Many devices suitable for LoraWan can operate "smartly" with a single battery for a long time, often even 10 years or longer, without replacing a battery.
