Which technologies do you consult on?

All of the major location, identification and IoT technologies: RTLS (UWB, BLE, Wi-Fi), RFID (passive, active and RAIN UHF), industrial IoT and sensors, GPS and GNSS, AGV and AMR robot fleets, and hybrid stacks that combine them. We recommend the right mix for each zone and use case, not a single technology.

Are you really vendor-neutral?

Yes. We do not sell hardware or a software platform of our own, and we take no resale commissions, so our technology and vendor recommendations serve your outcome rather than a product we need to move.

Do you work outside the UK?

We are UK-based and work across Europe and internationally, delivering in English, German and French. Engagements can be remote or on-site depending on the work.

What does a consulting engagement include?

Typically discovery and requirements, vendor-neutral technology selection, vendor evaluation and RFP support, ROI and business case, solution architecture, and an implementation roadmap. We scope each engagement to where you are.

Can you help after the decision is made?

Yes. We work across the full lifecycle - we can also deploy, integrate, and operate the system, so you can keep one independent team from business case through to live operation.

How do we get started?

Usually with a short call or a fixed-fee discovery to scope the problem, followed by a proposal with clear deliverables, timeline and fees. There is no obligation and no platform pitch.

Do you take fees or commissions from carriers or vendors?

No, ever. Our fees come from clients only. See /about/independence for the full policy and public commitments.

Do you run LoRaWAN deployments end-to-end, or just advise?

Both, depending on engagement. We run end-to-end (scoping, vendor management, deployment, integration handover) for clients without internal IoT capability. We advise alongside internal teams for clients building capability.

Can you work with our existing LoRaWAN partner?

Yes, often. We work alongside your existing integrator, carrier or platform partner as the independent advisory layer. Vendor-neutral by design.

How long is a typical LoRaWAN engagement?

Scoping engagement: 4–8 weeks. Pilot: 8–12 weeks. Production deployment: 12–24 weeks depending on scale. Many clients engage us across multiple stages.

Do you cover NB-IoT / LTE-M as alternatives?

Yes — see /insights/lorawan-explained for the LoRaWAN vs cellular IoT comparison. We help clients choose between LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M and hybrid stacks during stage 1.

DIENST · LORAWAN-HINWEIS

LoRaWAN Consulting – unabhängig, anbieterneutral.

We advise enterprises on LoRaWAN — feasibility, network choice (public vs private vs hybrid), device selection, integration, deployment and managed-services partner selection.

Independent, no commissions or kickbacks, our fees come from clients only. If you're scoping a LoRaWAN deployment and want a vendor-neutral second opinion, this is what we do.

Was wir bei einem LoRaWAN-Engagement machen

Three stages, mapping to /method. Stage 1 — Scope, architect, cost: use-case validation, predictive RF coverage modelling, public vs private vs hybrid network choice, gateway and device sizing, integration architecture, 5-year TCO.

Stage 2 — Pilot: vendor-neutral pilot design, success criteria, validation against accuracy / battery-life / coverage targets in production environments.

Stage 3 — Production rollout: full deployment plan, vendor management, integration with enterprise systems, handover to managed-services partner.

We work with public carriers (Orange, Bouygues, KPN, Senet, Everynet), private network platforms (Actility ThingPark, The Things Industries, ChirpStack) and devices across the LoRaWAN ecosystem.

Anwendungsfälle, die wir abdecken, behandeln

Outdoor asset and returnable-container tracking: containers, livestock, plant equipment, vehicles. Hybrid LoRaWAN + GNSS designs (Semtech LR1110 / LR2021) for multi-year battery life.

Agriculture and farm sensing: soil moisture, livestock health, equipment location across hectare-scale fields.

Smart-city infrastructure: parking, waste, environmental, lighting. Remote equipment monitoring: utility / oil-and-gas / energy network sensors.

Industrial telemetry: factory ambient and process sensors, tank levels, run-hours. Building and facility management: occupancy, temperature, air-quality, restroom and meeting-room utilisation.

Öffentlich, privat oder hybrid

We don't have a default answer — it depends on use case, geography, security posture and economics. Public LoRaWAN for assets that move across regions where carrier coverage exists.

Private LoRaWAN for sensitive in-site applications (defence, regulated industries, large factories). Hybrid for distributed enterprises with both. See /comparisons/public-vs-private-lorawan for the deeper treatment. We model both economics and architecture in stage 1.

Geräteauswahl und Silizium

Semtech dominates LoRa silicon. Their LR1110 (with GNSS sniffing) and LR2021 (with GNSS + Wi-Fi sniffing) chips enable hybrid LPWAN-positioning at multi-year battery life — a game-changer for outdoor asset tracking.

We help clients evaluate devices across the LoRaWAN ecosystem (Adeunis, Abeeway, Browan, Dragino, Elsys, Kerlink, Multitech, Tektelic, Yabby) for fit to specific use cases.

Integrationsarchitektur

LoRaWAN deployments connect to enterprise systems via the network server — REST, MQTT, AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT integrations are mature.

We design integration patterns into WMS, ERP, IWMS, BMS, asset-management and ITSM systems. See /integrations for our enterprise patterns and /comparisons/public-vs-private-lorawan for network architecture detail.

Warum sollten Sie uns beauftragen statt den Anbieter oder den Anbieter.

Carriers and vendors will tell you their option is the right one. We don't have that bias — our fees come from clients only and we have no economic stake in the network choice or device selection.

We've advised enterprises on deployments ranging from 50-device pilots to 50,000-device rollouts; we know where the costs and pitfalls are. See /about/independence for our independence policy.

FAQ

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Nimmst du Gebühren oder Provisionen von Anbietern oder Anbietern entgegen?

Nein, niemals. Unsere Gebühren kommen ausschließlich von Kunden. Siehe /about/independence für die vollständigen politischen und öffentlichen Verpflichtungen.

Führst du LoRaWAN-Deployments End-to-End-aus oder berate du nur Rat?

Beides, je nach Engagement. Wir betreiben End-to-End-Lösungen (Scoping, Lieferantenmanagement, Bereitstellung, Integrations-Handover) für Kunden ohne interne IoT-Fähigkeit. Wir beraten gemeinsam mit internen Teams beim Aufbau von Kompetenzen für Kunden.

Können Sie mit unserem bestehenden LoRaWAN-Partner zusammenarbeiten?

Ja, oft. Wir arbeiten gemeinsam mit Ihrem bestehenden Integrator, Anbieter oder Plattformpartner als unabhängige Beratungsschicht. Verkäuferneutral von Design.

Wie lange dauert ein typisches LoRaWAN-Engagement?

Scoping-Engagement: 4–8 Wochen. Pilot: 8–12 Wochen. Produktionseinsatz: 12–24 Wochen, abhängig vom Umfang. Viele Kunden beschäftigen sich mit uns in mehreren Phasen.

Deckst du NB-IoT / LTE-M als Alternativen ab?

Ja – siehe /insights/lorawan-explained für den Vergleich von LoRaWAN vs. zellulärem IoT. Wir helfen Kunden bei der Wahl zwischen LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M und Hybrid-Stacks während Phase 1.
