Better smart sensor solutions with ad hoc networks

Endrich's award-winning E-IoT ecosystem offers a potential solution for direct transmission of smart sensor data to the cloud using NB-IoT/LTE-M wireless technologies. This is a perfect solution to transform conventional devices into 'smart' devices when a relatively small number of sensors are present in an application. The integration of NeoCortec's low-power wireless ad hoc mesh networking technology into the Endrich IoT ecosystem provides a smart solution for local sensor networking that comes with a highly scalable, long-lasting, independent and battery-powered group of nodes. Instead of direct sensor-to-cloud communication with multiple outputs to the internet, an industrial-grade sub-gigahertz local mesh with a single gateway is sufficient. Among other things, this solution supports predictive maintenance, environmental parameter monitoring and safety monitoring of industrial plants at much lower cost and higher reliability, and increases the robustness of the sensor network in harsh environments.
