An article from SmartMakers was published in the current issue of ZfK (Zeitung für kommunale Wirtschaft) in April 2017. In an interview, SmartMakers was asked about the current situation and activities. Aptly titled "Where no mobile radio can reach", the article reports on the advantages of LoRaWAN technology and the wide range of possible applications compared to WLAN, for example. The security of such a network is also discussed and reports from the Munich and Karlsruhe public utilities demonstrate the ever-growing interest in wireless technology. The last section leads on to the much-discussed topic of new business models for municipal utilities / energy suppliers. All in all, a very interesting article that encourages the development of ideas for further possible applications.
We will be happy to send you the article on request.
