George Dannecker, CEO & PresidentIoT is a nascent market and there are new solutions and companies popping up regularly, inventing valuable applications to leverage the benefits of LPWA networks. “We have two important product offerings: the Senet Network and the EnerTrac application to cater to client’s IoT requirements,” says Dannecker. Senet’s main objective is to attract new solutions and support the growth of existing applications running on their network. In addition to the LPWA network benefits, Senet’s LoRa based network offers bidirectional communication, mobile device support, adaptive data rate support, and strong security features.
The Senet Network has been deployed successfully for EnerTrac, a tank delivery automation solution for the heating fuel delivery industry. EnerTrac provides long-distance, low cost data acquisition through smart devices and sensor technology, while demonstrating a rapid and easy Return On Investment (ROI). For example, one of the company’s clients, a home heating fuel dealer, had an issue of customers demanding refills without knowing the amount of fuel left in the tank.
In the IoT space today, we are building an LPWAN network that secures the opportunity to have a large variety of applications running on the public Senet Network
Since they didn’t have any means of measuring the quantity of fuel left, they would generally request a refill while the tank was still 50 percent full. To mitigate this, Senet suggested deploying EnerTrac which informed dealers about the exact tank levels. By doing so, the client was able to schedule deliveries when the tank levels approach 20 percent and the dealers could save about 30 to 40 percent of their truck rolls resulting in a 20 to 40 percent reduction on operating cost. “If a dealer has between 5,000 and 10,000 tanks, deploying our IoT application can save them about $500,000 to one million per year,” extols Dannecker.
Currently, the network expansion of Senet is being driven primarily by the EnerTrac application. In parallel, the company is in the early stages of testing with dozens of innovative companies building a variety of sensor-based solutions. “We are focusing on the IoT space based on the flexibility to work with a variety of different applications,” articulates Dannecker. Senet is poised to deliver critical, cost effective connectivity solutions to enable the coming IoT market explosion. In the next decade, an estimated 50 billion devices will need to communicate with each other. “The Senet Network has grown to over 100,000 square miles of coverage, collecting data from over 30,000 end nodes with coverage in the Northeast, the Midwest, and California. During 2016, network deployment will continue on an aggressive pace including deep coverage in the innovation districts of greater Boston and the San Francisco Bay area,” concludes Dannecker.
ProSentry Selects Senet’s Platform-as-a-Service to Deploy and Manage Private LoRaWAN Networks for Smart Building Solutions
Friday, August 04, 2023
Building management solutions using LoRaWAN are designed to reduce insurance premiums and repair costs, improve tenant satisfaction while saving time and mitigating risks
PORTSMOUTH -Senet, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based software and services platforms that enable global connectivity and on-demand network build-outs for the Internet of Things (IoT) and ProSentry, a leading provider of an all-in-one wireless monitoring solution for residential and commercial properties, today announced a partnership to deliver smart building solutions utilizing Senet’s Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for private LoRaWAN network deployments and smart building sensor management.
Senet's Platform-as-a-Service enables solution providers, such as ProSentry, to implement LoRaWAN gateways specifically designed for their customers' environments. This is accomplished while utilizing the advantages of Senet's cloud-based managed network services and Radio Access Network (RAN) tools, which facilitate the provisioning, monitoring, and management of gateways tailored to their respective environments. The result is the assurance of carrier-grade service, which is essential for effective building monitoring applications.
“Whether installing a new system or retrofitting a building, a small number of low-cost LoRaWAN gateways can easily deliver connectivity for an entire building and provide the foundation for a holistic building monitoring solution,” said John Rusk, President and Founder of ProSentry. “Reliable network connectivity is critical to the delivery of our services and Senet’s Platform-as-a-Service and RAN tools ensure we are able to deploy, manage, and monitor our network infrastructure and sensor deployments, bringing innovation and ease to better building monitoring.”
ProSentry offers an integrated and adaptable building monitoring solution, presenting a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional proprietary systems. The all-in-one platform utilizes a wide range of LoRaWAN sensors built on standard protocols for water and gas leak detection, as well as mechanical and environmental monitoring. Operational insights in real-time and instant alerts are readily available through various channels, such as live operator calls, text messages, emails, and in-app notifications, accessible from any mobile device. This empowers stakeholders to make well-informed decisions and address issues promptly, preventing escalation.
The ProSentry building monitoring platform continually expands its capabilities, supporting a diverse set of wirelessly connected in-building sensors for various purposes:
• Water Leaks
• Natural Gas Leaks
• Boiler Temperature
• Exhaust Fans
• Temperature / Humidity
• Elevator Motion
• Roof & Terrace Drain
• Sump Pit Water Levels
• Trash Container Levels
• Water Tank Levels
• Mouse Traps
• Door/Window Ajar
• Automatic/Remote Water Shutoff Valve
• Smoking/Vaping, THC & Tobacco (Coming Soon)
• Water Metering (Coming Soon)
Whether for a single building or an entire real estate portfolio, the ProSentry platform aims to reduce insurance premiums and repair costs while providing proactive risk mitigation, significant time savings, and improved tenant satisfaction.
“Network connectivity plays a crucial role in smart buildings, and standards-based LoRaWAN networks and sensors are revolutionizing the way building owners can serve their occupants and stakeholders,” said Bruce Chatterley, CEO of Senet. “With numerous sensors supported and integration with Senet’s cloud managed network platform, ProSentry is able to support virtually any smart building use case making full-scale building, multi-dwelling unit, and campus deployments more accessible than ever before.”
