Picture a remote water tank pump station or a pipeline valve located miles away from your central control room. You need to pull real-time Modbus data from the sensors, but there is zero cellular coverage. You have two bad options: deploy an expensive satellite connection, or spend thousands of dollars digging trenches to lay fiber-optic…
Imagine deploying 500 soil sensors across a massive agricultural facility. If you choose the wrong connectivity protocol, you will either bankrupt your project with monthly SIM card data fees, or spend thousands on labor just to replace dead batteries every few months. This is where the LoRa vs 4G decision dictates the success or failure…

What the Numbers Say About Your Existing Gear Here’s a number that matters: over 65% of industrial equipment still uses RS232 or RS485 . PLCs, flow meters, temperature sensors—they’re out there, working fine, but stuck on serial connections. The global LoRa market reached $4.9 billion in 2024 , while Zigbee applications in industrial automation account for over 30% of deployments . If you’re looking at…
What the Market Says About LoRa Here’s a number that puts this in context: the global LoRa and LoRaWAN IoT market was valued at $8.0–9.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $48.6 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 12.9–17.5% . Another research firm estimates the market at $1.3–1.5 billion in 2024, with the difference reflecting whether the…
Why Wireless Connectivity Matters in a Greenhouse If you’ve ever managed a greenhouse, you know the challenge: keeping an eye on soil moisture, temperature, and humidity across a large, dense structure. Wi-Fi signal barely makes it past the first row of tomatoes. Zigbee sensors drop packets when leaves get wet. And running cables? Not practical…
