AFTER SUPERFAST BROADBAND, LOW-POWER, WIDE-AREA IoT

SIEL-Territoire d’énergie Loire is installing connected objects – the IoT (Internet of Things) on all the renewable energy production facilities it manages. As their name suggests, these are small sensors that enable communication with and between technical equipment. This can be heating, lighting or ventilation equipment, public utilities, etc. They can feed back air quality data from classrooms, the level of fuel in a tank, humidity, temperature or noise readings, as well as lots of other information useful to the successful management of public facilities.
