Transmit IoT Data from Sensors to the Cloud with Cellular Backhaul

For solutions that use LoRaWAN sensors to monitor and control water usage, cellular connectivity can help bridge the gap between devices in the field and the back end cloud infrastructure.

LoRa sensors can be a cost-effective way to deploy many devices in a single building like a hospital. Cellular connectivity can transport the aggregated data from a LoRa gateway back to cloud infrastructure.

Livestock monitoring is an excellent example of a great application for LoRa and cellular to work together. LoRa sensors can be integrated into patches that can be attached to livestock non-invasively, and the data collected from those sensors can be sent back to a gateway that then sends that data hundreds of miles to a data center.

Suppose you're prohibited from attaching your devices to your customers' corporate networks, or you want a failover option in case the corporate network goes down - or there isn't even an existing network available because devices are in remote outdoor areas.

In any of those cases, you will need a wireless backhaul option. Zipit's relationships with the major global carriers give us the ability to offer coverage options that meet your needs no matter where your devices are being deployed. 

This largely depends on the number of LoRaWAN end nodes (sensor or edge device) you will be deploying, as well as the size and frequency of the data packets you will send.

In our experience with clients across different many different business use cases, we've seen data needs as small as 1MB and going up into several gigabytes of cellular data usage per month and beyond. Contact us so we can help you determine the right amount for your use case. 

We're a multi-carrier MVNO with direct relationships to the tier-1 carriers around the world. Get in touch with us so we can understand your application, use case, and device type, and we'll recommend the best carrier(s) for your deployments.
