Netmore continues the expansion of the European LoRaWAN network and begins the rollout of LoRaWAN infrastructure in France.
Commercial market development has already started to establish collaborations with important strategic partners. The infrastructure roll-out will begin in the first quarter of 2023.
On-demand LoRaWAN coverage enables large-scale utility projects throughout France
In connection with the launch on the French market, Netmore will immediately offer LoRaWAN coverage on demand for large-scale projects in utility and IoT. This means that customers, partners and other companies that contribute to the transformation of a sustainable society can plan long-term to achieve a smart metering infrastructure that is both cost-effective and reliable, and based on proven technology well suited for large-scale utility projects.
Netmore's network expansion thus follows the need for connectivity, which creates the conditions for a competitive offering structure that together with proven technology provides conditions for projects that run over many years.
This market establishment strategy has been proven with great success in Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Spain, where as of today extensive coverage has been established in parallel with growing ecosystems of solution developers, device manufacturers, platform developers and other relevant players.
Smart metering of water drives the French IoT market
Smart metering of water is a rapidly growing market in France. The need for improved digitization to achieve resource efficiency is increasing, which was not least proven during periods of severe drought that hit the country the recent years.
With LoRaWAN-based solutions from the Netmore ecosystem, a municipality, a municipal company, water meter manufacturers and similar companies can increase measurability and gain enhanced control and improved insights into the water resource. The solutions create the conditions for improved resource efficiency that will benefit both municipalities and citizens, while society as a whole can handle the water issue more responsibly and contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly development. Similar to solutions in water, such as sub metering, leakage control and man hole monitoring, corresponding solutions are also offered for gas, district heating and electricity.
Collaborations with platform developers and device manufacturers
Netmore builds a cost-effective network that puts partners, customers and end users at the center. Network rollout takes place in close collaboration with strategically selected partners, such as platform providers, solution developers, unit developers and real estate companies.
This agile approach and our strong partner networks are a vital part of the recipe for success that has resulted in that our solutions are used by major players in an increasing number of geographic markets. This has contributed to Netmore LoRaWAN now being the fastest growing professional LoRaWAN network in Europe.
