LoRaWAN® in the Swiss LPN radio network for your IoT applications 

A concert equipment provider has hired out valuable equipment. LoRaWAN sensors allow it to cost-effectively determine where the equipment is at all times. It also doesn’t have to worry about replacing the batteries in the sensors. A pharmaceutical sales company wants to ensure that the required refrigeration temperature is maintained throughout the entire logistics chain. To do so, it deploys a large number of cost-effective LoRaWAN temperature sensors across Switzerland.

A farmer wants to protect his harvest from adverse environmental conditions. He therefore uses sensors to monitor fertiliser, moisture levels and temperature. When critical levels are reached, he receives automatically generated reports and can respond promptly, by irrigating a dry field, for instance.

A bank uses LoRaWAN sensors to monitor the air quality in the offices at its headquarters. The readings feed into the ventilation management system, which can then guarantee consistently high air quality throughout the building.

Data from LoRaWAN sensors provides an insurance company with meaningful data relating to actual workplace occupancy and available meeting rooms. The company can use this to optimise the organisation’s site strategy and behaviour and take an important step towards the Smart Office.

Bridges, dams, communication systems and energy supply infrastructure are considered critical infrastructures throughout Switzerland and large parts of Europe. These buildings and installations are often located in remote locations outside the reception range of terrestrial networks. In such cases, satellite communication is used for monitoring purposes. In an emergency, the competent authorities and operators will receive all the information they need to take immediate action.
