SenRa-Yodiwo to co-work on IoT technology for smart city projects

NEW DELHI: Yodiwo, an AEP (application enablement platform) and IoT services provider that focuses on accelerating the development and deployment of IoT applications for industrial and enterprise environments, and SenRa, a pan India Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs) provider for long range-based (LoRa-based) Internet of Things (IoT) applications, have announced their IoT technology partnership.

The collaboration between the two companies will provide an integration of SenRa's open, standards-based network and devices with Yodiwo's IoT platform to simplify and accelerate the creation and deployment of IoT projects utilizing the LoRa ecosystem.

"This partnership will provide India with low cost end-to-end smart solutions leveraging the LoRa LPWAN technology," said Ali Hosseini, Chief Executive Officer of SenRa. "Yodiwo's platform provides us the ability to move fast and deploy quickly solutions with real-time analytics for our customers," added Ali Hosseini.

Currently, Yodiwo and its partners have developed solutions for facility and asset management, smart city, retail and supply chain verticals, while several other IoT products in various verticals are under development.

With current presence in Europe, USA, Africa and the Middle East, Yodiwo is aiming to expand operations into India by forming and leveraging scalable partnership models, whereby partners and system integrators, solutions and service providers can fast-track their IoT strategy and capabilities by utilizing Yodiwo's platforms, tools and services.

"By leveraging SenRa's carrier grade LPWAN infrastructure, Yodiwo will be able to serve the Indian market with sustainable IoT solutions," said Alex Maniatopoulos, CEO of Yodiwo.

SenRa has plans to deploy LPWANs across India to include the 90 cities which have been selected by the government as part of their smart city missions. SenRa's ability to launch and manage networks, while also deploying both Macrocell and Microcell technology at scale, provides support for a multitude of LPWAN use cases. The LoRa Alliance is a non-profit association of members dedicated to standardize LPWANs, and provide seamless interoperability between smart devices.
