The Internet of Things (IoT) transforms how we interact with our environment. Utility management is one of the areas where IoT has made considerable strides. This article will examine the LoRaWAN IoT sensors and their utility applications.


What is the LoRaWAN protocol?


Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) is a wireless communication protocol developed for IoT. It is a low-power, long-range, secure wireless protocol that permits long-distance communication between devices. LoRaWAN uses unlicensed radio frequencies, making it a cost-effective option for Internet of Things devices.


How does LoRaWAN Internet of Things sensors operate?


LoRaWAN IoT sensors employ low-power, long-range communication technology to transmit data to a gateway, which subsequently sends the data to a cloud-based server for processing. The sensors can be installed in isolated areas, and their batteries have a lifespan of several years. This makes them suitable for monitoring utilities such as sub-metering for gas, water, and electricity.


LoRaWAN Internet of Things sensor applications in utilities


Gas sub-metering


LoRaWAN IoT sensors can monitor gas consumption in residential and commercial buildings. These sensors can be put on gas meters and provide real-time consumption statistics. This can lead to economic savings and enhance occupant safety.


Water sub-metering


LoRaWAN IoT sensors can also be used for submetering water. These sensors can be put on water meters and provide real-time information regarding water consumption. This information can be utilized to detect water leaks, reduce water waste, and optimize water usage. This can result in water conservation and cost savings.


LoRaWAN IoT sensors can identify irregular usage patterns, optimize energy consumption, and eliminate energy waste. This can result in energy savings and cost benefits for the building owner.


Benefits of deploying LoRaWAN IoT sensors in utilities


Low power consumption


Because of its low power consumption, LoRaWAN IoT sensors can operate for years on a single battery.


Long-distance communication


LoRaWAN IoT sensors can communicate long distances, making them perfect for remote utility monitoring.


LoRaWAN IoT sensors run on unlicensed radio frequencies, making them a cost-effective utility monitoring solution.


Real-time data


LoRaWAN IoT sensors deliver real-time data, enabling building owners to discover and improve abnormal consumption patterns.


LoRaWAN IoT sensors are revolutionizing the management and monitoring of utilities, including gas, water, and electrical submetering. These sensors provide real-time information on utility consumption, which can be used to identify abnormal usage patterns, optimize energy consumption, and reduce waste. LoRaWAN Internet of Things sensors feature minimal power consumption and long-range communication and are cost-effective, making them an excellent alternative for remote utility monitoring.


We can anticipate significant advances in utility management as the IoT continues to evolve, and LoRaWAN IoT sensors will play a crucial role in this transformation.

  • VMware Virtualization
    Reduce capital and operational costs by increasing energy efficiency and using less hardware with server consolidation. Enhance business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities for your virtualized infrastructure. Virtualize business critical applications and databases (Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP HANA, SAP Sybase, SAP Business Suite, Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, SAP) for the highest SLAs and top performance. Gain policy-based automation and ensure compliance and performance with a zero-touch infrastructure using VMware vRealize™ Operations™ for virtualization management.

  • Server Virtualization
    Abstracting the operating system and applications from the physical hardware gives you a more cost-efficient, agile and simplified server environment. Using server virtualization, multiple operating systems can run on a single physical server as virtual machines, each with access to the underlying server's computing resources. Most servers operate at less than 15 percent of capacity, leading to server sprawl and complexity. Server virtualization addresses these inefficiencies. VMware vSphere offers a complete server virtualization platform that delivers: 80 percent greater utilization of server resources Up to 50 percent savings in capital and operating costs 10:1 or better server consolidation ratio. Since virtualized infrastructure has unique management needs, VMware offers vSphere with Operations Management, which delivers vSphere optimized with critical capacity and performance management capabilities. It is designed for businesses of all sizes to run applications at high service levels and maximize hardware savings through even higher capacity utilization and consolidation ratios. Benefits of virtualization are nothing short of dramatic. Up to 80 percent greater utilization of every server. Reductions in hardware requirements by a ratio of 10:1 or better. Capital and operations expenses cut by half, with annual savings of more than $1,500 for each server virtualized. Robust, affordable high availability.
  • Network Virtualization
    Network virtualization is the complete reproduction of a physical network in software. Virtual networks offer the same features and guarantees of a physical network with the operational benefits and hardware independence of virtualization—rapid provisioning, non-disruptive deployment, automated maintenance, and support for both legacy and new applications. Presents logical networking devices and services—logical ports, switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs and more—to connected workloads. Applications run on the virtual network exactly the same as if on a physical network. With software-defined networking, virtualization principles are applied to network resources, abstracting, pooling and automating them to transcend the limitations of rigid physical architectures. Network services are assigned to each application and remain with it, elastically adapting to its changing requirements. Software-defined networking has many benefits: Simplified provisioning Enhanced scalability Simplified management Lower operating cos
  • Desktop Virtualization
    Deploying desktops as a managed service gives you the opportunity to respond quicker to changing needs and opportunities. You can reduce costs and increase service by quickly and easily delivering virtualized desktops and applications to branch offices, outsourced and offshore employees and mobile workers on iPad and Android tablets. VMware desktop solutions are scalable, consistent, fully secure and highly available to ensure maximum uptime and productivity.
  • Application Virtualization
    In order to maintain QoS and SLA for Tier 1 business applications in virtual environments, IT organizations must focus on the virtualization components of the project, the management and monitoring of virtualized business applications, and on maintaining corporate guidelines for business continuity and disaster recovery. With the VMware Tier 1 Application Virtualization solution built on VMware vCloud Suite®, you can enhance the quality of IT services delivered, while simplifying your infrastructure, maximizing efficiency and eliminating costly over-provisioning. Learn more about application virtualization.
  • Storage Virtulization
    Huge data volumes and real-time applications are pushing storage demands to new levels. As the leader in hyper-converged software-defined storage for virtual environments, VMware Virtual SAN™ applies the principles of VMware's Software-Defined Data Center to storage by abstracting the disks and flash drives inside your servers, combining them into high-performance storage pools, and delivering them as software. Virtual SAN offers simplified, policy-based provisioning, and it’s integrated with the vSphere web client, so you can: Easily manage both compute and storage through a single interface. Significantly improve storage resource utilization and flexibility. Simplify OS patching and driver requirements, regardless of storage topology. Increase application uptime and simplify day-to-day operations. Leverage and complement your existing storage infrastructure. Learn more about storage virtualization.
