In collaboration with Aplus Technology

Complementary offering with a technology partner

IoT solutions, LoRaWAN and ChirpStack for connected systems

From the radio link to the dashboard: together with our technology partner Aplus Technology, we help companies implement connected, data-driven solutions.

LoRaWAN development

LoRaWAN is a radio standard for low-power, long-range data transmission – suited to sensors that run for long periods and send small amounts of data. We support design and integration:

  • Sensor integration
  • Gateway configuration
  • Device provisioning
  • Payload decoding
  • Connectivity architecture
  • Data collection

ChirpStack implementation

ChirpStack is an open-source LoRaWAN network server. We support set-up, operation and further development:

  • ChirpStack installation
  • ChirpStack configuration
  • Gateway Bridge integration
  • MQTT integration
  • PostgreSQL and Redis infrastructure
  • Device and application configuration
  • Technical troubleshooting
  • Version migration
  • Monitoring and maintenance

IoT application integration

Sensor data delivers value when it reaches business applications. Possible integration paths:

  • REST APIs
  • MQTT
  • Webhooks
  • Dashboards
  • Databases
  • Cloud services
  • Existing enterprise applications

IoT monitoring and dashboards

Measurements can be made visible and analysed. Possible use cases:

  • Equipment monitoring
  • Sensor telemetry
  • Environmental measurements
  • Building monitoring
  • Utility monitoring
  • Remote asset monitoring

Deployment options

Depending on requirements, the solution can run in the cloud or locally in your own data centre (on-premises). Which options are possible in an individual case, we clarify together with our technology partner’s delivery team.

  • Cloud

    Operation with a cloud provider of your choice, where suitable for the project.

  • On-premises

    Operation on your own infrastructure, for instance when data should stay in-house.

Technical architecture

A typical data path from measurement to application:

  1. Sensors

    Measure values and send them via LoRa radio.

  2. LoRaWAN gateways

    Receive radio data and forward it over IP.

  3. ChirpStack

    Network server: device management and decoding.

  4. MQTT / API

    Interfaces for passing the data on.

  5. Business applications & dashboards

    Evaluation, alerting and further processing.

Simplified illustration. The actual architecture depends on requirements, location and security concept.
