4G/5G for Internet of Things
5G is the first wireless access technology developed for the massive scalability required for IoT applications. But not all IoT devices are 5G enabled. For a mass industrial IoT deployment, such as smart nation project or smart lockers/vending, it’s neither feasible nor economical for each IoT device to be equipped and subscribed to a 5G service plan. However, most industrial IoT devices support Wi-Fi or BLE. With RansNet UA-800, clusters of IoT devices can connect via Wi-Fi on the LAN side and share the same 5G backhaul to cloud IoT servers or central application systems. This hybrid setup will dramatically reduce 5G subscription costs, while still enjoying the benefits of 5G technologies.
4G/5G for Smart City IoT
NUSInternet of Things (IoT) is the core technology to build a smart nation, and one of the biggest challenges is to backhaul all IoT data for central processing, from smart CCTV surveillance, Electronic Road Pricing, smart locker, smart vending, smart ATM, smart metering, car parking, electric vehicle charging stations, environmental monitoring sensors, etc etc
Due to the massive amount of IoT sensors required, it’s neither feasible nor economical for each IoT sensor or gateway to be equipped and subscribed to a 4G/5G service plan, and it’s extremely tedious to manage the per sensor end-to-end connectivity.
With RansNet SD-Branch Solutions, clusters of IoT devices can connect via Wi-Fi on the LAN side and share the same 4/5G backhaul to cloud IoT servers or central application systems. This hybrid setup will dramatically reduce 4/5G subscription costs, while still enjoying the benefits of wireless WAN technologies, centrally managed by a cloud orchestration platform.
