Guardian Manager Overview

LoRaWAN IoT devices are designed for long battery life, typically lasting between 3 to 10 years, depending on usage and power efficiency. This extended battery life is essential for remote monitoring applications, where regular battery replacement can be costly and challenging.

Low-power technologies, key component of LoRaWAN, help extend battery life by optimizing power consumption during data transmission. With these advancements, devices can operate independently for years, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring reliable, long-term data collection in remote and hard-to-reach areas.

The use of the 868 MHz frequency spectrum is widely used in Europe for LoRaWAN networks, offering long-range, low-power connectivity over unlicensed frequencies, which reduces operating costs. Ideal for technologies like LoRaWAN, this frequency supports stable, extended-range connections with low interference, making it a reliable choice for large-scale, dispersed IoT deployments. Guardian Manager Application Server supports all global LoRaWAN frequency brands.

The 868 MHz frequency spectrum is designed to provide reliable reception, even in challenging environments, enabling deep indoor penetration. This capability ensures that IoT devices remain connected through walls, floors, and other obstructions commonly found in buildings, allowing reliable data transmission from basements, dense urban areas, and other hard-to-reach indoor locations. As with all wireless communications it is advisable to undertake signal level tests when designing the network.

The 868 MHz spectrum offers impressive coverage, reaching up to 2 km in urban areas and up to 10 km in rural settings. This range makes it ideal for IoT applications, as it provides reliable connectivity over vast distances, even in challenging terrains. In urban environments, the frequency effectively navigates obstacles, sensors communicating in rural areas requite open line of sight to the gateway, it covers extensive areas with minimal infrastructure, making it a cost-effective solution for wide-area monitoring.

The Guardian Manager Dashboard with sensor location display provides real-time visualization of where each IoT sensor is located, enhancing monitoring and management capabilities. This feature allows users to quickly identify sensor positions on a map, track their status, and respond to alerts based on geographic location. Ideal for large or dispersed deployments, the location display enables efficient oversight of all sensor activities, optimizing maintenance and troubleshooting efforts.

End-to-end encryption provides strong protection for wireless data transmissions from the moment it leaves an IoT sensor until it reaches the Guardian Manager software server, helping to protect the data from interception or unauthorized access. This security measure is essential for sensitive data in IoT applications, providing privacy and compliance with data protection standards. By encrypting data throughout its journey, end-to-end encryption safeguards information integrity, ensuring that only authorized users can decrypt and access the data.
