LoRaWAN network server

When data becomes solutions

The heart of the system is the network server

The LoRaWANnetwork server(LNS) is the heart of every LoRaWAN network. There are various providers of so-called connectivity platforms or LoRaWAN servers. Most of them are certified by the LoRa Alliance and thus provide the necessary security in terms of interoperability and global availability. LoRaWAN network servers are generally designed for corporate networks and are "enablers" for a wide range of IoT use cases in companies, cities, municipalities and local authorities.

The LNS handles the connectivity, management and monitoring of devices, gateways and end-user applications. Data routing via LNS is secure, scalable and reliable across the entire network. Multiple gateways and thousands of IoT devices can be connected to one LoRaWAN network server.

Discover the components, functions and various application models of a LoRaWAN network server. The range of applications is almost limitless.

Manage hardware & analyze IoT data: With the LoRaWAN network server Thingpark from Actility

In a network with many sensors and gateways, it is important that all connected IoT devices are managed, monitored and maintained in a central location. And the LoRaWAN network server Thingpark from Actility. The server is used for the implementation, secure registration, organization, monitoring and remote maintenance of IoT devices - without any effort or programming knowledge.

ThingPark Enterprise is a scalable IoT solution that adapts - from proof of concept to nationwide roll-out. The collected LoRaWAN data is received and analyzed in the network server in real time. It is then seamlessly integrated into the respective system landscape and made available to the user.

What is ThingPark Enterprise?

ThingPark Enterprise is an IoT platform that has been specially developed for companies and their IoT projects. To digitize processes and actually turn data into solutions, companies need powerful, flexible and scalable IoT platforms. ThingPark Enterprise connects sensors, gateways and end-user applications and ensures reliable and secure data routing throughout the LoRaWAN network.

ThingPark Enterprise can be applied to any IoT use case for companies and buildings, is future-proof and able to grow in line with individual, digital business transformation. Integration into the Niagara building management system is also possible via the Tridium BMS controller.

Advantages

Why with LoRaWAN?

 

Low cost

The open LoRaWAN standard in combination with free operating frequencies and low-cost base stations enables operators to roll out networks within a few months and with minimal investment. In addition, there are very low operating costs compared to mobile communications.

Standardized

The LoRaWAN standard is based on an open protocol approach managed by the LoRa Alliance, which oversees the development of the standard and ensures interoperability between all LoRaWAN networks.
Provides device interoperability and global availability of LoRaWAN networks for rapid deployment of IoT applications anywhere.

Geolocation

LoRaWAN uses network triangulation to passively locate any LoRa device. This enables new location applications, lower costs and better optimization of battery life - all without "power-hungry" GPS.

Bi-Directional

Fully bidirectional communication enables a wide range of use cases requiring uplinks and downlinks: for example, street lighting, smart irrigation, energy optimization or home automation.
