IoT Communication Protocols - Understanding the difference and when each one is best suited is an important part of how we design projects.

LoRa and LoRaWAN are often mentioned together, but they are not the same thing. Both are designed for long-range, low-power wireless communication, making them ideal for IoT applications such as tank monitoring, environmental sensors, agriculture, utilities and remote infrastructure.

Temperature and environmental conditions can have a major impact on equipment, products, people and operational performance. IoT sensors provide a practical way to monitor these conditions continuously and remotely, giving organisations better visibility and faster warning when something changes.

Maintaining the correct temperature in a coolroom is critical for protecting food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products. Even a small temperature rise can lead to product spoilage, reduced shelf life, safety concerns and costly losses.

Lighting control has evolved significantly. Traditional systems typically rely on dedicated control cabling, centralised panels and fixed infrastructure, while Casambi uses Bluetooth Low Energy mesh technology to create a wireless lighting control network.

Remote tank level monitoring allows businesses to see tank levels in real time without needing to physically visit the site.
