Wireless communication between devices is rapidly becoming central to the way the world operates. Companies, governments, and city authorities are eager to capitalise on the potential of the Internet of Things (IoT). They recognise that utilising smart technologies presents opportunities to cut costs, improve efficiency, and promote sustainability.
However, with massively increasing data traffic, high-frequency networks are under growing pressure. It raises the question: how long before we encounter instances of overload or the need for emergency restrictions?
There is an alternative to this challenge. Narrowband RF mesh technology leverages lower bandwidth radio frequencies, which are less crowded and more reliable. Applications using narrowband frequencies consume considerably less power and are less spectrum-intensive than those relying on higher frequencies. Consequently, Narrowband networks offer greater capacity for connected devices.
At CyanConnode, we specialise in harnessing the power of Narrowband RF mesh technology to support IoT. Our approach facilitates highly efficient device-to-device communication through scalable Neighbourhood Area Networks (NANs). As leaders in this field, our advanced connectivity solutions support multi-application networks, enabling seamless communication with various devices, including gas, water, and electricity meters, as well as street lighting and traffic lights.
Many Narrowband networks utilised for smart technology applications are point-to-point (P2P), making them expensive to install and operate. Additionally, system or device errors can significantly impact the Quality of Service (QoS) metrics. In contrast, CyanConnode networks utilise mesh network topology that is self-forming and self-healing, offering distinct advantages.
Our mesh technology ensures better efficiency through its ability to quickly create robust ad-hoc networks, making it a proven high-performance data transfer solution. Assured quality is achieved through built-in diagnostics and fault reporting, enabling prompt responses to maintenance issues and ensuring service continuity. Furthermore, the ease of installation allows networks to be built as solutions are deployed, aiding cash flow, minimising downtime, and expediting verification.
The smart metering and broader IoT markets are stabilising and maturing globally. CyanConnode remains an industry thought leader, continuously evolving Narrowband RF mesh networks to meet developing demands and fully leverage next-generation technology. Our simple aim is to provide customers with straightforward, user-friendly solutions that meet their current needs while equipping them to face the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
CyanConnode Holdings plc (LON:CYAN) is a world leader in the design and development of Narrowband RF mesh networks that enable Omni Internet of Things (IoT) communications.
