Eindhoven University of Technology Expands LoRaWAN® Connectivity with TEKTELIC Gateways

CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, February 26, 2024, The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has implemented significant expansions and updates to its LoRaWAN® / Internet of Things (IoT) networks on and around the campus. With these updates, all access points now function as a neutral host, suitable for various LoRa networks and projects. This development was made possible through the involvement of SkyLab B.V. and SkyNet IoT.

Unlike traditional individual LoRaWAN® network providers, SkyNet IoT offers an innovative neutral hosting solution that enables the simultaneous hosting of multiple private, commercial, and public networks. This approach allows TU/e and others to flexibly respond to market developments while simultaneously utilizing different existing LoRaWAN® networks and their capabilities.

The implementation of this solution ensures that the gateways are multifunctional, giving users the freedom to choose between different networks simultaneously with minimal impact on the environment.
