Dutch network operator Everynet is moving into the USA with the launch of a national LoRaWan in Phoenix, Austin, Atlanta, Miami, Charlotte and Portland.

These cities are the initial wave of Everynet’s US network rollout that includes the top 36 metropolitan areas and key logistics corridors across the country.

As the USA is investing in key infrastructure projects including roads, bridges and lighting, now cities have the ability to connect wirelessly various IoT sensors to the cloud economically without having to build communications infrastructure.

Cities can monitor and manage lighting, streamline waste management services, manage flooding and check air quality. Applications can monitor critical infrastructure including roads, pipelines and transportation of materials. In addition, the network can be used to monitor freight rail, shipping ports and subways to streamline operations and gather data for predictive maintenance.

Utilities can remotely monitor, maintain and gather data on water systems, substations, smart grid reclosers, transformers, LPG gas, and residential and commercial metering. It allows tracking and monitoring critical assets such as pallets, containers and goods. By managing the geo-location, cold-chain monitoring, humidity and shock, enterprises can receive real-time data on the movement, condition and arrival of assets through the complete supply chain.

“LoRaWan connected infrastructure, assets and services help deliver a more digitised, decentralised and decarbonised society that leverages internet of things as a platform for better efficiency and sustainability about most work, play and living requirements,” said Andres Carvallo, CEO of CMG Consulting. “Everynet’s offering is a timely game changer for asset owners.”

Everynet’s neutral-host business model enables mobile network operators, mobile virtual network operators, application service providers, managed service providers and internet service providers  to offer carrier grade low-power wide-area IoT services to their customers.

Everynet is deploying Canadian firm Tektelic’s carrier-grade 64-channel LoRaWan mega gateways for the US national LoRaWan to ensure radio performance and network reliability. In addition, the LoRaWan open standards-based ecosystem provides companies with a selection of hundreds of devices and applications.

LoRaWan radio frequency technology used by Everynet is a widely adopted long-range, low-power option that helps build low-cost IoT projects worldwide.
