Holzminden becomes Smart City: New Lorawan network for everyone!

Holzminden. The city of Holzminden sets an exciting sign for the future! With the introduction of a comprehensive Lorawan (Long Range Wide Area Network) radio network, the city is catapulted on the way to the Smart City. This revolutionary network transmits tiny data packages over impressive distances of several kilometers. The small data packages, which are a maximum of 51 bytes, enable battery -operated sensors to work for up to ten years. With low maintenance and versatile, this technology offers numerous applications for municipalities, industry, craft and private individuals.

The possibilities are almost endless! Municipalities can use this innovative technology to efficiently transmit energy and meter data. The automated data acquisition provides valuable insights into the energy consumption of buildings and shows savings potential. But that's not all: Lorawan can also provide decisive environmental data such as fine dust values, room air quality, water quality, soil moisture and water levels. This information is essential to recognize dangers for humans and nature at an early stage.

lorawan for all!

But not just the municipalities benefit! Private individuals can also use the new radio network. With Lorawan sensors, intelligent energy monitoring and house control in smart home environments become child's play. And the best thing about it? As soon as the network stands, citizens can use the technology free of charge!

In order to guarantee a comprehensive coverage of the radio network, Westphalia Weser and the district of Holzminden work hand in hand to build the Lorawan network throughout the district. Holzminden is actively involved as a location partner. Antenna gateways are currently being installed on urban buildings to maximize the range and network coverage. Westphalia Weser has been commissioned to create the infrastructure and to extend the network to the surrounding districts. Holzminden is on the best way to become a pioneer in the digital future!
