Tech companies IoTech and Netmore aim to jointly develop large-scale smart city projects and new Internet of Things market opportunities across the country.
The Netmore Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution has been chosen by IoTech to enhance and deliver LoRaWan connectivity and Internet of Things (IoT) applications across Greece.
The companies will jointly develop large-scale smart city projects and new IoT market opportunities in the region.
Netmore’s PaaS enables network operators like IoTech to deploy and operate LoRaWan networks, combining future-proof connectivity with carrier-grade reliability for the delivery of critical infrastructure and essential business applications.
IoTech’s mission is to transform cities into smart communities using LoRaWAN networks to optimise infrastructure, enhance safety, and promote sustainability.
“Together, we will power Greece’s cities of the future and the sustainability initiatives within them”
Serving 15 cities in Greece, it provides solutions for smart parking, metering, waste management, environmental monitoring, and smart lighting. With Netmore PaaS, IoTech said it is enhancing its network planning, IoT gateway and device installation, and network and device monitoring services with the carrier-grade reliability needed to transform communities “into sustainable and efficient hubs”.
“Partnering with Netmore allows us to provide best-in-class LoRaWan network infrastructure for our smart city solutions,” said Georgios Stefanidis, general manager, IoTech.
“Netmore not only offers a true carrier-grade platform that can scale with our growth, but their commercial model, infrastructure partnerships, and partner-focus seamlessly support our efforts to deploy and monetise digital transformation initiatives across the region. Together, we will power Greece’s cities of the future and the sustainability initiatives within them.”
IoTech has started the migration of thousands of devices to Netmore’s platform and will deploy all new devices using Netmore PaaS, eliminating separate fees for gateway deployments and platform usage in favour of Netmore’s per-device pricing model.
Through this partnership, Netmore customers can immediately access LoRaWan network coverage in Greece, while IoTech customers have access to both local coverage and Netmore’s global network to support application-specific requirements.
“The rapid adoption of LoRaWan for municipal applications requires a dedicated focus and IoTech’s technical expertise and innovation in the smart city market make them an ideal partner," said Martin Flenhagen, business developer, Netmore Group.
“We’re excited to have IoTech join our growing PaaS ecosystem and look forward to jointly developing the LoRaWan market in Greece. This collaboration will provide customers of both Netmore and IoTech with access to an enhanced network footprint for many business critical applications.”
