The strategic partnership between IoTech and Netmore marks a significant advancement in the development of smart cities across Greece. By leveraging Netmore’s Operator Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), IoTech aims to enhance IoT applications and connectivity, fostering more efficient and sustainable urban environments. This collaboration underscores the growing importance of integrated IoT solutions in modern urban planning.
IoTech and Netmore have previously worked on smaller-scale projects focused on individual smart city applications. This new alliance expands their joint efforts, aiming for a more comprehensive impact on urban infrastructure and services throughout Greece.
Enhancing LoRaWAN Connectivity
Netmore’s Operator PaaS provides IoTech with the tools necessary to deploy and manage large-scale LoRaWAN networks efficiently. This platform ensures reliable connectivity, essential for critical infrastructure projects and various business applications, facilitating the seamless operation of smart city technologies.
Expanding IoT Applications in Greek Cities
IoTech plans to implement a wide range of IoT solutions, including smart parking, metering, waste management, environmental monitoring, and smart lighting across 15 cities in Greece. These initiatives aim to optimize urban infrastructure, improve public safety, and promote sustainability, transforming cities into more livable and efficient communities.
Cost-Effective and Scalable Solutions
The migration to Netmore’s platform allows IoTech to adopt a cost-effective per-device pricing model, eliminating separate fees for gateway deployments and platform usage. This approach not only reduces operational costs but also ensures scalability, enabling IoTech to expand its services as needed to meet the growing demands of smart city projects.
The collaboration between IoTech and Netmore provides immediate access to extensive LoRaWAN network coverage within Greece, while also tapping into Netmore’s global network capabilities. This dual access supports diverse application-specific requirements, enhancing the overall effectiveness and reach of IoT initiatives in the region.
“Partnering with Netmore allows us to provide best-in-class LoRaWAN network infrastructure for our smart city solutions. Netmore not only offers a true carrier-grade platform that can scale with our growth, but their commercial model, infrastructure partnerships, and partner-focus seamlessly support our efforts to deploy and monetize digital transformation initiatives across the region. Together, we will power Greece’s cities of the future and the sustainability initiatives within them,”
says Georgios Stefanidis, General Manager, IoTech.
“The rapid adoption of LoRaWAN for municipal applications requires a dedicated focus and IoTech’s technical expertise and innovation in the smart city market make them an ideal partner. We’re excited to have IoTech join our growing Operator PaaS ecosystem and look forward to jointly developing the LoRaWAN market in Greece. This collaboration will provide customers of both Netmore and IoTech with access to an enhanced network footprint for many business-critical applications,”
says Martin Flenhagen, Business Developer, Netmore Group.
This partnership not only strengthens the technological framework supporting smart cities but also sets a precedent for future collaborations aimed at integrating advanced IoT solutions into urban landscapes. By combining their expertise, IoTech and Netmore are positioned to drive significant improvements in the quality of life for residents and the efficiency of city operations.
