Senet and global technology leader Laird today announced that the Laird Sentrius LoRaWAN gateway now comes pre-loaded with the Senet LoRa® Packet Forwarder software and provides native support for registration and operation on Senet’s network. This out-of-the-box integration allows enterprise organizations to deploy LoRaWAN solutions more efficiently across a variety of markets and rapidly expand as new business opportunities arise.
Designed for secure and scalable Enterprise IoT (EIoT) deployments, the 8-channel Sentrius gateway supports LoRaWAN, dual-band Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet for multi-protocol flexibility. This flexibility expands the number of smart devices that can be connected to enterprise applications and delivers a highly optimized and economical approach to meeting the diversity of real-world EIoT use cases.
Laird and Senet are both members of the LoRa Alliance and will be participating at the 10th LoRa Alliance All Members Meeting and Open House in Vancouver, Canada from June 4-7, 2018. The companies will be hosting a LoRaWAN boot camp session on Thursday, June 7. In this hands-on session, attendees will walk through using both BLE and LoRaWAN to bridge sensor data (temperature, wind speed and direction) via Laird’s RG1xx Gateway platform to Senet’s Network-as-a-Service. All participants will receive a free Sentrius RM191 development kit.
“Senet’s approach to IoT network deployment and operation brings unique value to companies like Laird by creating new customer engagement and gateway deployment models that are accelerating the adoption of low power, wide area connectivity,” stated Jonathan Kaye, Senior Director, Product Management at Laird. “We are excited to be collaborating with Senet to combine the utility of the Sentrius gateway with the ease of use and flexibility of the Senet network for our customers.”
“The Laird Sentrius is an outstanding addition to our portfolio of qualified LoRaWAN gateways as it delivers the critical features needed to support the demands and diversity of EIoT applications,” said Bruce Chatterley, CEO & President at Senet. “We look forward to our ongoing collaboration with Laird to help organizations deploy LoRaWAN networks faster and more efficiently and are excited to be partnering with a like-minded company committed to simplifying IoT connectivity for enterprises around the globe.”
