New Delhi – India is the global leader in Internet of Things (IoT) with over 40 per cent of the market share. Now, two technology companies – SenRa and Senet – are partnering to extend the LoRaWAN standard to 70 communities throughout the country.

The LoRaWAN standard for the Internet of Things (IoT) is widely adopted in more than 27 countries given its technology, security, and economic advantages. It is designed to wirelessly connect battery-operated 'things' to the internet in regional, national or global networks.

Now, two companies are deploying LoRaWAN networks for smart city applications in over 70 communities throughout India. SenRa and Senet’s partnership will help accelerate the development of connected communities to ensure stable electricity supply, clean water, renewable energy, and reduced environmental pollution, according to an article.  

SenRa is one of two public LoRaWAN network operators in India. By adopting US-based Senet’s Managed Network Services for IoT (MNSi) Platform, it has already implemented India’s largest smart water metering project in Pimpri-Chinchwad Smart City; installed almost 9,000 Smart Gas Meters in residential high rises and communities; and implemented India’s first LoRaWAN smart parking enforcement solution in Amritsar Smart City.

“IoT application management provided by the network operator has to efficiently enable gateway deployment and visualization tools,” said Ali Hosseini, SenRa CEO, in the article. “Partnering with Senet has enabled us to become a leading IoT network operator in India. Hundreds of thousands of devices are connected or being connected to our network and it is all thanks to Senet’s reliable IoT connectivity platform, services and support.”
