Seeking Innovative Remote Monitoring & Control Products for Australia/New Zealand Market

My name is Mark Barrie. I am the Managing Director of EDAC Electronics Australasia.
For 26 years plus we have been marketing remote monitoring, control and alarming equipment in Australia and New Zealand.

I am currently looking for new product to bring to our market.

I look forward to hearing from anyone with a new product they would like help taking it to the market.

Have you looked into LoRaWAN, there are all sorts of possibilities for remote monitoring,
cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard,

I have not yet looked into that. May I have the link for it?..this is a huge help.

Thanks man,
Mark

It is an enabling technology, fairly new, and there are some problems with it(the wireless bands it uses, for example), but I believe it has a future. If you are looking for products, it will not be of any help, but the technology could lend itself to new products which could be developed locally, and are a good fit around your core business.
I am aware of uses in agriculture, where multiple sensors are scattered around farm land(10-15Km radius), and used to gather frost warning info, which is used to make decisions about bringing in helicopters to get air movement around the frost sensitive crop. Can also be used like the old paging network, for example, to control street lights.
I am based in NZ, and have been mulling over applications myself. There are public networks being set up in some cities here at present, which will give people a chance to 'have a play'.
Just do a search for LoRaWAN, you will turn up quite a bit.
https://www.lora-alliance.org/ is the over arching organisation.
Cheers,
Richard

Thank you for this, i'll take a look at it.

Cheer,
Mark
