NETWORKS

As well as providing sensors, we understand that the data they provide must be delivered.

AltoNovus provides End-to-End systems, from building the sensor, to commissioning the network, to delivering the data from the Cloud, to you.  Commercial network coverage is well established in some areas, and increasing in reach.  This may meet all of your needs, but if not, AltoNovus can build and maintain a bespoke network to complement or replace existing coverage.

BEARER TYPES

Although AltoNovus cores can operate independently, they are normally connected to a bearer type that transfers data to the outside world.  AltoNovus specialises in LPWAN (Low Power Wide Aera Network) technologies due to their very low power demands placed on sensor devices.  LPWAN characteristics are below.   Opposite is a selection of bearer systems. 

LPWAN

The key features are: 

◾Long range comms (typically 2km - 20km, though more is achievable with line of  sight).

◾Low power consumption.

◾Low bit-rate (to which range tends to be inversely proportional).

◾Low network charges.

◾Deep in-building penetration.

◾Suited for battery powered device operation.

Together, these features make LPWAN ideal for remote sensors connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), or to customers' own private networks. 

AltoNovus products are designed to work with various LPWAN technologies.  We focus on technologies that enable the interchangeability of end nodes and back-end services.
