Environmental hazards are a global concern, and individuals, local governments, and organizations alike are working together to reduce waste, minimize their environmental footprint, and promote overall sustainability. It’s a conscious effort. The ability to monitor and detect environmental issues in real time, such as flooding, poor air quality, and radiation leaks, is essential.
A distributed wireless network based on low-power WAN (LPWAN) connectivity simplifies the design of connected devices and enables seamless environmental monitoring. For IoT-enabled sensors, LPWAN connectivity supports a wide range of features while reducing connectivity costs compared to cellular, encouraging individuals to deploy compatible hotspots. This can eventually cover hundreds of square miles. Features include:
- Smooth onboarding. Deploy multiple devices without additional configuration or third-party assistance.
- roaming. Send data through any hotspot by mapping it to a company ID on the blockchain.
- micropayment transactions. Earn cryptocurrency when your device transfers data via hotspot.
- Blockchain integration. Issue a cryptographic notary of the audit trail when transaction data from the device is added to the blockchain.
The environmental impact of LPWAN networks is definitely a key piece of the puzzle when looking for an environmental monitoring solution. Long-range, low-power capabilities allow hotspot owners to monitor their environment and make proactive decisions based on the data collected.
IoT-enabled sensors allow owners to better monitor and manage air quality using real-time data, thus alerting the public to dangerous air emissions and allowing local government officials to help residents help you make decisions that have a positive impact on
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “In 2021 (as of October 8), there will be 18 weather/climate disasters, each impacting the United States with more than $1 billion in losses.”
These natural disasters (floods, wildfires, droughts, etc.) have a significant impact on climate and national infrastructure. IoT-enabled technologies help monitor and alert information about changing conditions. The data collected can better inform experts to make better forecasts and forecasts to keep citizens safe.
A framework that combines IoT-enabled sensors with a distributed, open-source approach to build a ubiquitous network allows manufacturers, developers, or applications to connect devices across the country using LPWAN-compatible technologies to create a positive environment. It can inform the decisions that influence them.
