Enhancing digital infrastructure, Netmore Group collaborates with Vantage Towers to broaden LoRaWAN coverage across Portugal. This strategic alliance aims to support critical sectors by providing reliable connectivity solutions. The partnership leverages Vantage Towers’ extensive infrastructure to facilitate advanced technological initiatives.
Previously, efforts to implement LoRaWAN in Portugal were limited by infrastructure constraints. The current collaboration marks a significant expansion, allowing for more widespread adoption of IoT technologies. This development is expected to accelerate the digital transformation of various utilities and municipal services in the region.
How Will the Partnership Enhance Network Availability?
Netmore Group will install gateways on Vantage Towers’ infrastructure, significantly increasing network density and reliability. This expansion ensures that utilities and municipalities can access robust and consistent LoRaWAN connectivity for their operations.
What Are the Key Benefits for Water Utilities?
Water utilities will benefit from advanced metering infrastructure, enabling precise water metering and leak detection. These improvements help address water scarcity by reducing losses and optimizing usage through data-driven insights.
Why Is LoRaWAN Adoption Growing Globally?
LoRaWAN offers long-range connectivity, low operational costs, and minimal power consumption, making it ideal for extensive IoT deployments. Its flexibility allows for deployment in areas where traditional networks are impractical or too expensive.
“Connectivity is essential to build an inclusive digital society and our partnership with Netmore will improve the operations of critical sectors of the economy and drive sustainability forward,” said Paolo Favaro, Vantage Towers Portugal Managing Director, Vantage Towers.
“Forward-thinking organizations are seeking out new ways to achieve sustainability, optimize operations, and reduce costs – but to do that, they need robust and accessible network connectivity,” said Talis Talor, managing director, Netmore Portugal.
“Our partnership with Vantage Towers combines our secure, future-proof LoRaWAN network and global IoT expertise with Vantage Towers’ widespread infrastructure across Portugal, enabling digital transformation at scale to support water utilities in AMI and other use cases that ultimately improve quality of life.”
The collaboration between Netmore Group and Vantage Towers represents a pivotal advancement in Portugal’s IoT landscape. By harnessing existing infrastructure, the partnership reduces the barrier to entry for organizations looking to implement LoRaWAN solutions. This initiative not only addresses immediate challenges like water scarcity but also sets the foundation for future smart city developments.
Utilities, municipalities, and other organizations can anticipate enhanced operational efficiency and better resource management through the expanded LoRaWAN network. The strategic deployment of this technology is expected to lead to significant cost savings and improved service delivery, contributing to Portugal’s broader sustainability goals.
Understanding the critical role of connectivity in modern infrastructure is essential. This partnership showcases how leveraging existing assets can drive meaningful progress in sustainability and digital transformation initiatives. Organizations looking to adopt similar technologies can consider the benefits of such strategic collaborations to achieve their objectives effectively.
