At this week’s Gitex conference in Dubai, SenRa, a pan-India LoRaWan public network operator, announced IoT network planning and survey software.

Called Netsy, the software helps network operators improve the quality and reliability of public and private IoT network deployments.

SenRa’s experience in solving a broad range of IoT problems has allowed it to identify the issues faced by IoT network operators, such as difficulty in visualising and planning LPWA networks, identification of potential deployment issues, and optimisation of network quality. These challenges inspired it to work on innovations that evolved into Netsy.

Netsy has been SenRa’s internal tool for a while, and its features take into account the complexities of deploying IoT networks and allow operators to achieve optimal deployment capex, streamline their site survey operations and assist in network monitoring.

Netsy has been designed to assist the IoT community in constructing IoT networks that are robust, scalable and cost-effective. Its features enable operators to evaluate a project’s RoI and assist them with predictive maintenance. It helps operators roll out an LPWA network that can accomplish any business necessity in correctly foreseeing the network availability.

“We are looking forward to expanding SenRa’s presence in the Middle East market and connecting with a wider audience,” said, Ali Hosseini, chief executive officer of SenRa. “We are thrilled to introduce Netsy at Gitex. 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.”

Kush Mishra, CTO of SenRa, added: “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 IoT deployments.”

SenRa, a member of the LoRa Alliance, is a pan-India LPWAN provider, specifically LoRaWan for IoT and M2M applications. SenRa is deploying LPWANs throughout India for projects that require secure, reliable, long-distance communication at low cost. SenRa also offers data analytics services leveraging its Ginjer IoT analytics platform.
