Problem
Large‑scale IoT deployments such as smart metering, industrial monitoring, and asset tracking require a wireless network that can operate for many years, scale to millions of nodes, and remain reliable without costly cellular back‑haul or vendor‑locked solutions. Traditional point‑to‑point or cellular links are expensive, power‑hungry, and often fail in harsh environments, limiting the feasibility of infrastructure‑grade connectivity.
Solution
Wirepas offers the Wirepas Platform, a standards‑based (NR+) mesh networking solution that enables ultra‑reliable, low‑power communication for massive IoT deployments. The platform combines Wirepas Mesh, a self‑healing, decentralized RF mesh protocol, with the Wirepas Network Management System (NMS) for centralized monitoring, provisioning, and firmware updates. Operating in license‑exempt spectrum, the mesh can span large geographic areas without gateways, providing long‑range, resilient connectivity that supports multi‑year device lifecycles. Security and compliance are built into the protocol, and the open NR+ standard ensures interoperability across vendors and device types. Customers can adopt the technology via professional or enterprise licenses, or as a connectivity‑as‑a‑service offering.
Target Audience
Primary customers are utilities and system integrators deploying smart meter networks, industrial operators needing large‑scale monitoring and control, and manufacturers of IoT devices requiring a robust, long‑life connectivity layer.
