What is LoRa?

The term LoRa defines the physical layer that enables long range communication links in IoT. LoRa refers to a chipset that enables communication with very low power consumption. LoRa chips and the associated LoRaWAN protocol, like Bluetooth Low Energy for example, are among the radio technologies often used in IoT.

 

How is Lora used by soXes?

LoRa chipsets are used in IoT-enabled devices for the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN). They are particularly suitable for low-maintenance devices that can be deployed far from populated areas or in hard-to-reach places, as the technology is very efficient with resources. The LoRaWAN protocol then links the LoRa chips into a low power network that connects IoT devices and can be operated with very low maintenance.

 

Where has soXes deployed LoRa?

soXes uses LoRa chips wherever a Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) is set up. This is the case, for example, with the MyPortaNet application from PortaNet AG. In the digital measurement and information system for windows, doors and gates, sensors with LoRa chips are used for resource-saving monitoring of all linked components.

In the course of various projects in the field of alerting and mobilization, it became clear to soXes that in the field of alerting there are many providers, but not many comprehensive solutions that are based on or support modern platforms. soXes therefore decided to build a comprehensive real-time alerting system. After a development period of more than two years, instaGUARD and thus the company instaSOLUTION was born. instaGUARD is a technologically top modern and innovative alarm system for emergency, evacuation, mobilization, threats and technical alarms. It is a new generation in alarm management.

With instaGUARD it is possible to trigger an alarm in real time in an emergency situation or, in the case of team mobilization, to notify your team within seconds. An alarm can be triggered at the touch of a button on the smartphone, by SMS, phone call, e-mail or key combination on the computer. The software is centralized, cloud-based on an Internet platform and is operated by the user via an external client application, which is installed locally on a mobile or fixed end device.
This enables the recipient to be contacted globally via all communication channels. This significantly increases accessibility and enables a fast response time. The alerting process is more efficient, faster and easier than with conventional systems.

Thanks to the alarm configurator, different alarm types can be pre-defined and triggered according to the emergency situation. These differ, for example, in the ringing tone, the recipient circle, the priority, the escalation level or the instructions for action. Alarms can also be triggered by an external system by connecting instaGUARD to an existing external system (e.g. fire protection system). Depending on the medium, alarms can be sent with different delays and the recipient can be requested to acknowledge them. If an alarm was triggered, it is possible to locate the device from which it originated.

In this project, soXes resp. instaSOLUTION implemented all the work from the idea to the design, the technical concept and the implementation.
soXes has extensive know-how in the field of real-time communication with different media and a variety of protocols and systems.

Together with our customer PortaNet AG from Emmen, we at soXes GmbH have developed a digitalized measuring and information system for windows, doors and gates. Now, windows and doors can be digitized very easily; with a complete cloud solution based on low-power/wide-area technology.

MyPortaNet automatically measures, controls and administrates the complete usage process with information, fault reports and maintenance activities. If a service is due or if a door is open which should be closed, the system automatically signals the status or service requirement. This digital measurement data thus helps companies (but also private individuals) in particular to better design their processes, provide targeted services for their customers, reduce costs and save time, optimize repairs and maintenance of doors and windows and, last but not least, increase security.

PortaNet recognized the pulse of time early on: The earlier you jump on the bandwagon of digitalization, the more interesting your own competitive advantages and those of your customers will be. Soon the idea and vision was there to automatically control and administer the complete usage process of doors and windows with information, fault reports and maintenance activities thanks to the new possibilities of IoT (Internet of Things). Because the Internet of Things opens up completely new possibilities and added value for users in this area as well. 

Possible areas of application are very diverse, for example:

  • - Building security is increased as broken/accidentally open windows are reported early.
  • - Information on the condition and (wear and tear) of building components can be collected.
  • - Inspection tours can be significantly minimized.
  • - Heating costs can be reduced because open windows are quickly detected.
  • - The schedule for cleaning the toilets or meeting rooms can be adjusted according to the use of thesen.
