IoT device integration in Dublin: connect devices over Wi-Fi, cellular or LoRaWAN and integrate with cloud services like AWS IoT and ThingSpeak.
Our expertise#
When it comes to IoT, connectivity is usually a vital component. We offer experience in the following connectivity methods:
- Wi-Fi — typically implemented via USB dongles or onboard modules (e.g. Raspberry Pi, ESP32).
- Cellular communications — mobile modules widely available for remote or on-the-move deployments.
- LoRaWAN — now available as a single-chip solution; ideal for low-power IoT projects requiring wide-area coverage.
Which to choose?#
Each has its strengths and weaknesses, broken down broadly by range and bandwidth. WiFi suits high-bandwidth local deployments; cellular is ideal where infrastructure reach is needed; LoRaWAN excels at low-power, long-range sensor applications.
LoRaWAN can be a stand-alone solution or paired with a gateway and a network backbone to facilitate internet connectivity. The Things Network is a community-based gateway service that enables such connectivity.
We established a RAK7243 gateway service in February 2020 and can attest to its scope and reliability — approaching a hundred thousand packets received and going strong.
