Netmore and Zenze’s LoRaWAN networks for cargo tracking at ports and terminals

A partnership between two technology companies is making it easier to track and monitor the flow of goods through supply chain locations like ports, airport terminals, distribution hubs, and warehouses. Netmore Group, an IoT network provider, and supply chain plug-and-play hardware specialist Zenze are the two component parts of the partnership that will provide LoRaWAN networks to supply chain and storage facilities. LoRaWAN is a de facto standard in industrial internet of things (IIoT) settings, which can often be too large for networking protocols like BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), Bluetooth, and wi-fi to be effective. LoRaWAN-equipped devices use minimal power, making them ideal for situations where sensors and attenuators are not easily accessible (for maintenance, battery swap-out, etc.). The lower frequencies used in LoRaWAN also make the range of individual devices much bigger – ideal for busy supply chain hubs such as ports, where acres of ground need to be covered ...
