A partnership is providing seamless network integration between Dutch company Everynet’s carrier-grade national networks and French firm Actility’s IoT platforms around the world.

The collaboration aims at broadening accessibility to LoRaWan coverage for current and future clients of both companies.

Everynet provides low-cost neutral-host national LoRaWans and coverage is available in Brazil, Puerto Rico, Indonesia, Italy, UK and Spain. The collaboration will grant Actility’s existing and future clients access to the public and extended coverage in all territories where Everynet is present.

Actility provides an IoT platform, already powering the majority – more than 50 – of public nationwide LoRaWan deployments and hundreds of companies all over the world. Everynet and Actility’s networks are interconnected through ThingPark Exchange, a global LoRaWan peering hub going through accelerated growth and already connecting 20 LoRaWans worldwide. The ThingPark Exchange hub facilitates the activation of devices in any country.

“The synergy with Actility’s platform is a great opportunity to offer, at global scale, the best-in-class service based on LoRaWan technology,” said Everynet vice president Antonio Terlizzi. “In Everynet, we have the clear mission to provide the most scalable, convenient and easy-to-use connectivity to our clients. Being able to offer, at zero capex, a national scale coverage is an incomparable advantage for the industry, enabling new businesses and use cases that help the environment and improve our quality of life.”

Among the use cases that will benefit from the cooperation are:

• Personal safety, both indoor and outdoor, to help managing accesses and prevent accidents in offices, warehouses, construction sites and so on.
• Asset tracking to monitor location, temperature, humidity, position and so on, and guarantee the quality of goods throughout the supply chain, both indoor and outdoor.
• Fleet and cargo management to prevent accidents, thefts and tampering by tracking vehicles’ position in real time, while monitoring driving performances and mitigating the risks coming from distracted driving.
• Cold-chain monitoring to provide a continuous and automated check of goods’ temperature throughout the supply chain, even in harsh environments.

“Our collaboration with Everynet is enabling a faster adoption of IoT globally through expansion and mutual integration of LoRaWans, and it will help both companies in offering advanced solutions to our existing and future clients,” said Olivier Hersent, CEO at Actility. “Now providers can collect and process data easily from any of our networks. Roaming, peering and global activation are the technologies that mark the entry of LoRaWan into an era of mass scale and pervasive availability.”

Everynet is a global LoRaWan operator and provides carrier grade networks in Asia, Emea and the Americas. Its neutral host network model enables mobile network operators, MVNOs and global MSPs to offer low-cost IoT immediately and profitably with zero upfront capex.

Actility specialises in LPWAN industrial-grade connectivity for the IoT. It provides its ThingPark platform and network technology to deploy, operate and maintain public and private wireless IoT networks within a unified, scalable and versatile network infrastructure.
