The global LoRa and LoRaWAN IoT market is experiencing explosive growth, projected to surge from $8.0 billion in 2024 to $48.6 billion by 2035. With industrial deployments comprising nearly 45% of all active LoRa networks, it has become the undisputed champion of Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) in manufacturing, smart agriculture, and municipal utilities. Yet, if…
Let us be honest when you first hear about a router you get a picture in your mind. It might be a router you use at home for Wi-Fi with a slot for a SIM card added to it. It might just seem like a device that gives you internet on your phone when you…
In many solar monitoring projects, RS485 looks deceptively simple. A few inverters, some meters, one Modbus master, twisted-pair cables — everything works fine during commissioning. Data comes in, dashboards light up, and the project moves forward. Then the site expands. More strings, more sensors, longer cable runs. Suddenly, the same RS485 network that “used to…
RS485 is often thought of as robust and reliable. For small point‑to‑point or short‑bus systems, that’s true. But when an RS485 network grows—more devices, longer distances, noisier environments, higher uptime requirements—the stability problems that emerge aren’t usually the protocol’s fault. They come from the way the network is structured. Here’s a number that puts this…
Automation is not just for factories anymore. You can find self-service machines everywhere. Like vending machines, ticket kiosks, electric vehicle charging stations, car wash machines and payment machines that you can use by yourself. What makes all these machines work together is not the screen you touch or the way you pay. The fact that…
The Market Shift: Solar Energy Is Growing Fast Here’s a number that puts this in context: global solar photovoltaic capacity reached 1.5–1.7 terawatts in 2024, with annual growth of 20–25% . According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) , solar is now the cheapest source of electricity in many regions, and installed capacity is expected to double by 2030. But…
Why Rural Sewage Monitoring Needs a Different Approach The numbers tell a clear story. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) , about 25% of public wastewater treatment facilities in the U.S. use lagoon systems—pond-like basins that rely on natural processes to treat sewage. These systems are common in rural and semi‑urban areas because they’re less expensive…
Background As electric vehicle adoption grows worldwide charging infrastructure operators face a challenge. It’s not about adding more charging points. The real challenge is. Maintaining thousands of charging points in a reliable and cost-effective way. Here are some issues that EV charging point manufacturers and operators face: Many charging facilities are in areas roadside parking…
The Unattended Edge: Why Traditional Networks Fail Automation is no longer confined to the clean rooms of factories and corporate data centers. The harshest and most volatile places you can think of are where unattended self-service terminals are installed. These dispersed devices are the very backbone of modern retail and financial infrastructure, from automated vending…
A lot of farms have equipment that still does the job just fine but it does not have internet. The Valtoris Industrial 4G DTU can help with this problem. You can use a Valtoris Industrial 4G DTU to connect your equipment to the internet without getting rid of the equipment you already have. Here is…
