LoRaWAN-Consulting.com
LoRaWAN projects shipped in weeks, not months.
The whole stack, or just the missing piece
Complete LoRaWAN solutions from concept to deployment, or just the individual components that plug into your existing systems.
IoT system integration, custom firmware development, backend systems, and bespoke dashboards built around what your operation actually measures. Run any of it on your own premises, on a data center server you rent anywhere in the world, or let me host and maintain it for a monthly fee.
From proof of concept to production infrastructure that scales, delivered with the full source code, documentation, and hands-on training your team needs to own it.
Independent LoRaWAN Expertise
Independent guidance focused on what you actually need.
Unbiased Recommendations
Independent from vendors and manufacturers. You get what's best for your project, not what pays the highest commission. Sensors, gateways, and platforms evaluated against your actual requirements, so you buy the right hardware once and build custom only where it pays off.
Work With What You Have or Build New
Already have LoRaWAN infrastructure? I optimize and extend it. Starting from scratch? I build it to fit. Every LoRaWAN platform is on the table, from Chirpstack, TTN, Actility, Helium, and Netmore to a fully custom deployment, so the architecture serves your goals rather than a vendor's roadmap.
Consulting, Development, or Both
Some clients need an hour of advice on sensor selection. Others want a full-stack system built end to end, or a second opinion on a deployment that isn't behaving. All of it is normal work here. Nothing gets pushed on you; I recommend what actually solves your problem.
Comprehensive LoRaWAN Services
Enterprise IoT solutions from rapid prototyping to production deployment. LoRaWAN system integration, custom firmware, and scalable LPWAN infrastructure. Source code included.
🔧 Prototypes, Devices & Firmware
A prototype on your actual site comes first, because no spreadsheet will tell you whether the radio reaches or the battery lasts. You get a straight answer either way, including when LoRaWAN is the wrong tool for the job. And when nothing on the market fits, I build the device myself, schematic through to firmware that survives a winter outdoors, and every file it took is yours.
📊 Bespoke Dashboards
Your dashboard is built around what you actually measure rather than a template with your logo dropped on it, which means the pages are laid out for the people who read them every day. Drag across any chart to zoom into a window, or ask it for a whole year and it draws without a spinner. It runs on your infrastructure or on mine, and the source comes with it either way.
🌐 Full-Stack IoT System Integration
Devices, gateways, network server, storage and dashboards built as one system rather than five that happen to sit next to each other. It hands its data to the systems you already run, over MQTT, HTTP or a direct database connection. Source code, documentation and training for the team that inherits it.
💧 Smart Water Metering
Consumption broken out by zone, unit or process, and leaks caught within hours instead of the 30 to 90 days a manual reading cycle takes to notice them. Clamp-on ultrasonic meters go on in half an hour without cutting pipe or shutting off supply. The dashboard shows the overnight baseline, which is where a standing leak stops being invisible.
⚡ Electricity Sub-Metering
Energy measured per unit for multi-tenant buildings, RV hookups, EV charging and solar self-consumption, metered at the point the load actually sits. Clamp-on current sensors fit around existing conductors, so the switchboard stays as it is. Billing runs off the same data, and the load pattern is visible before anyone quotes you for a supply upgrade.
🌍 Environmental Monitoring
Weather stations reporting precipitation, wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity from sites with neither mains power nor a network connection. Solar and battery sized for the darkest month of the year rather than the average one. The data lands on your infrastructure, with alert thresholds and trend analysis you set yourself.
📡 Infrastructure & Hardware
Site survey, propagation analysis and gateway placement, which matters more than antenna gain does: a gateway ten meters up with a basic antenna beats a high-gain one at ground level. Mounting, feeders, lightning protection and filtering where a noisy band calls for it. Everything configured, measured and documented, including why each gateway ended up where it did.
💻 Custom Software You Own
Network server, ingest pipeline, APIs and the bespoke dashboards above them, built around your process rather than picked off a template. No per-device fee and no subscription you cannot walk away from. Run it on hardware you control, on a data center server you rent, or on mine for a monthly fee. The repository and the documentation come with it either way.
🔒 Complete Data Sovereignty
Sensor readings never leave the infrastructure you chose for them. You set retention, access and data residency, which is usually the hard requirement in healthcare, utilities and public sector work rather than a preference. Grafana or a bespoke dashboard, on your own premises, on a data center server in a country you name, or hosted by me under the same rules and the same residency. There is a live dashboard online if you want to see what one looks like.
Why Ownership Matters
Comparing bespoke solutions versus SaaS platforms.
No Monthly Fees
One-Time Investment
Pay once for development and deployment, then run it indefinitely with no platform fees. Everything sits on hardware you own, with minimal hosting costs. Scale from 10 devices to 10,000 with no per-device charges, no metered tiers, and no surprise bills at renewal.
Full Control
No Vendor Lock-In
You own the source code, so you're never locked to one supplier. Bring in any developer to maintain or extend it, migrate servers whenever you like, and take the system wherever it needs to go. The code is yours: documented, readable, and transferable.
Data Privacy
Your Servers, Your Data
Sensor data stays on infrastructure you control, whether that means your own premises, a private cloud, or some of each. Nothing passes through a third party on the way, so what gets kept and who can see it stays your decision rather than a setting in somebody else's console.
Blazing Fast Dashboards
Real meters, air quality sensors, doors and a weather station, all reporting over LoRaWAN right now. Then do the thing that kills most dashboards and ask it for a full year. It just draws it. No spinner, no timeout, no loading screen apologising at you.
Open the live dashboardAvoid Expensive Mistakes
Most IoT budget overruns trace back to a handful of early decisions. The technology worked in the lab. The problems show up at scale.
Bad Decisions Are Expensive to Fix
Ripping out gateways, rewiring installations, sending teams back on-site: fixing infrastructure mistakes costs far more than getting it right the first time. Every wrong call early on multiplies across the whole deployment. Expert guidance upfront costs a fraction of doing it twice.
Wrong Devices, Wasted Budget
Hundreds of devices are on the market, and plenty don't deliver what the datasheet promises. I help you select and field-test the right ones for your use case before you commit to a full rollout, so you validate in the real world first instead of replacing hardware across the entire fleet later.
Trapped by Your Platform
You build everything on a vendor's platform, and then they raise prices, drop features, or shut the service down. Suddenly your whole system hangs on someone else's decisions, and switching mid-project is slow and painful. The right architecture from day one keeps that control in your hands.
Consultancy & Team Training
I provide technical guidance based on extensive field experience with production LoRaWAN networks. Architecture review, implementation planning, and team training tailored to your infrastructure.
Architecture Review
Technical Consultancy
I go through the architecture you already have and tell you where it will bottleneck, which usually comes down to where the gateways sit, how the network server is configured, and what the pipeline does with the data once it arrives. Take that as a single session or as ongoing guidance, depending on what the work actually needs.
Knowledge Transfer
Team Training & Tutoring
I train your team to run LoRaWAN infrastructure without me. Sessions are hands-on and cover gateway configuration, network server administration, device provisioning and dashboard development, shaped around the stack you actually run and taught over video with the real system in front of you.
Project Planning
Implementation Guidance
Planning a new deployment? We work through the hardware and the order to roll it out in together, and I model the coverage for the environment you are actually putting this in rather than a generic one, so you come off the call with a plan you can act on rather than a list of options.
