SMART FACILITY MANAGEMENT
DESCRIPTION
The ability to monitor and manage water usage within a facility through the use of IoT technology with the help of Low Power WAN (LPWAN) communication has become increasingly important in recent years. Among many features that this technology can detect is leakage, which can warn operators before it becomes an issue that significantly jeopardizes safety. By receiving alerts about potential leaks early on, Facility Managers can prevent major damage from occurring as a result of water being wasted unnecessarily
LPWAN SIMPLE ARCHITECTURE
WHY IOT OVER LPWAN?
LPWAN (Low Power Wide-Area Network) is an advantageous networking solution due to its low energy
consumption and simple installation process. LPWAN uses the ISM frequency spectrum to provide a
low-power wide area network. The use of this frequency band allows LPWAN systems to be smaller, faster
and more reliable than traditional narrowband networks.
This type of network is perfect for massive spaces such as cities, schools, hospitals and offices that have
a high demand for data collection. The advantages of LPWAN extend to greater productivity and impproved efficacy from the capacity to link more devices concurrently. Additionally, costs associated with
linking units over a broad area network are minimized leading to shorter setup times and lower monthly
bills overall. LPWAN technology offers a range of advantages, including minimal power consumption and
prolonged battery life as well as decreased upkeep. Additionally, it facilitates the logging of data for inspection purposes while also enabling swift access to information in case of any problems with the
system. Furthermore, users will be notified if preset parameters are exceeded.
