The Internet-of-Things (IoT) has become synonymous with the current digital age, becoming a major force in the consumer market during the 2010s; the barrage of new and innovative devices has only continued to pursue the lure of increased capabilities, improved efficiency and power for these solutions. This tech race has led to the transfiguration of a myriad of industries and markets which constantly look to integrate the most up-to-date technology, such as sensors, appliances, and software, to overhaul their previous systems and introduce unparalleled benefits.
Culminating from this great number of devices is the IoT network, composed of the various solutions which a company has utilized; the network represents the constant exchange of information taking place between these devices without human interference. By incorporating comprehensive cloud and edge computing, this information can provide a venerable amount of information to elucidate a user on any improvements which could be made to their device network, improving overall efficiency across every level of business.
While these networks can provide an array of auspicious benefits, setting them up conducively can prove incredibly complex without suitable tools and planning. Negligence can prove extremely disparaging, diminishing the possible benefits of the network with overly-expensive setup costs and mediocre performances from mishandled devices. To streamline the process, SenRa, a PAN India LoRaWAN® public network operator, has announced the availability of Netsy. This innovative cloud-based network planning simulator aims to simplify the connectivity, processing, and interfacing issues which face many inexperienced users.
“We are looking forward to expanding SenRa’s presence in the Middle East market and connecting with a wider audience. We are thrilled to introduce Netsy at GITEX Technology Week 2022,” said Ali Hosseini, Chief Executive Officer of SenRa. “Netsy is a powerful tool that allows users to effortlessly plan and deploy IoT networks. We think that Netsy will be a significant contribution to the IoT ecosystem.”
As an experienced provider in the Indian IoT market, SenRa has garnered over five years of maturity in the industry while passing an array of significant IoT milestones which cover a variety of verticals. Having focused on an extensive year-long engagement dedicated to resolving an abundant catalog of IoT issues, the company has identified the challenges that IoT network operators encounter while incorporating solutions to these issues into their offerings.
Netsy has been tailored toward reducing the cost and time associated with fostering complex device infrastructures, enabling network operators to optimize their planning, deployment, and maintenance of carrier-grade IoT networks while empowering them to be more robust and scalable through a host of features:
- Device Performance Simulation – Network simulations can be customized to the users’ preference by selecting environment type, adjusting device power, gateway positions, and generating device-performance KPIs such as RSSI, gateway redundancy, distance, and others
- Optimal Deployment CapEx – Simulations can be conducted to choose the optimal tower location to deploy the users’ gateways, allowing for the evaluation of device performance dependent on the impact of different network architectures to optimize the CapEx for a project
- Streamlined Site Survey Operations – Network coverage surveys can be conducted for any LoRaWAN device to reveal the network presence for clients, ensuring a smooth project handover with quality reports
Kush Mishra, CTO & COO of SenRa, quotes, “Very proud to see Netsy evolve from a genuine need driven in-house tool to something that now our customers can leverage to plan and enhance their network quality. This is going to be a game changing advancement that was much required in the IoT deployments.”
It is paramount for organizations to make use of all the tools available to them when planning the future of IoT in their business. Netsy is fundamental to this process; as a comprehensive planning simulator, the tool can be used to effectively evade issues that may arise while introducing devices to an IoT network while maximizing the effectiveness of what has already been integrated. This greatly minimizes the risk associated with incorporating new and innovative devices, which can initially prove costly but offer huge long-term benefits, especially in the hyper-competitive environments in which many businesses find themselves in today.
