Can LoRaWAN Networks Transform the Indian Meteorological Department into a World Leader in the Fight Against Global Warming?

Advantages of LoRaWAN Star-on-Star vs. LTE, GSM, NB-IoT, CAT-M1 and others:

  • Extend wireless network coverage 10+ km past existing LTE, GSM, NB-IoT, CAT-M1 coverage with LoRaWAN LTE gateways

  • LoRaWAN gateway affordability ensures deployment of double and triple-redundant wireless networks affordably due to its Star-on-Star approach vs. mesh networking.

  • Meteorological sensor nodes communicate with multiple gateways, ensuring reliability of wireless data transmission and interference resistance. In case of a gateway failure, data is automatically rerouted via other gateways.

  • LoRaWAN networks allow the addition of unlimited nodes without rebuilding the wireless infrastructure.

  • LoRaWAN networks naturally permit network expansion and do not require trained personnel in the field to support network operation since gateways act as only message forwarders (data pass-through) and sensor nodes do not join/pair with gateways, but directly with the application running at the Met Department.

LORIX One and MeteoHelix® IoT Pro solution for professional meteorological and agricultural applications

New product spotlight at the Meteo Expo 2019 in Gevena Switzerland

LORIX One LoRaWAN Gateway detail

BARANI DESIGN Technologies in cooperation with Wifx Sàrl from Switzerland with showcase a professional meteorological wireless solution designed for areas with limited GSM/LTE coverage. This low-bandwidth wireless meteorological system requires very low data rates as typical of mountainous regions and rural or outback locations. These remote locations where meteorological data is scarce but critical for accurate weather prediction for nearby population centers are currently serviced by costly satellite data services. Now remote meteorological data coverage is attainable for a few hundred dollars wherever GSM/LTE or Wifi is available.

Outdoor IoT wireless LoRaWAN gateway with 10+ km wireless range:

  • LORIX One professional IP65 outdoor LoRaWAN gateway from Wifx of Switzerland
