“The LoRaWAN protocol offers the essential building blocks for
developers and system integrators to quickly and cost-effectively
create solutions to combat the challenges created by the COVID-19
pandemic,” said Arnold Bagabaldo, Founder and CEO at Packetworx.
“Packetworx is stepping up to meet the needs of smart facility and
smart building management with IoT solutions that remotely monitor
equipment and maximize operations with minimal human intervention
and reduced risk.”
Packetworx’s IoT applications include packetSENSE Current Clamp
sensor that measures electricity flow and packetSWITCH technology
to remotely reboot a device. The combined solution has been
deployed by several financial institutions to remotely monitor the
functionality of automated teller machines (ATMs). Enabled by
Semtech’s LoRa® devices, these simple retrofit devices enable 24/7
usage auditing, preventative maintenance alerts, alarms for
inactivity due to power loss or malfunction, and remote on or off
capabilities to reset the ATM. Actionable data is provided on
Packetworx’s visualization dashboard, packetVIEW. These
applications utilize the LoRaWAN protocol to deliver long range
connectivity, up to miles from the nearest gateway and deep
indoors, and low power consumption, with battery life averaging
three to five years.
“LoRaWAN allows solution providers the means to quickly connect
legacy mission-critical equipment and receive the benefits of IoT
and smart monitoring with a low total cost of ownership,” said Marc
Pegulu, Vice President of IoT Product Marketing for Semtech’s
Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “Packetworx’s proven ATM use
case has now opened the door to remote monitoring of applications
across an endless array of markets, including healthcare, smart
industry, smart utility, and logistics.”
