📡 Why is indoor coverage sometimes so difficult?

🏢 Concrete walls, steel structures, and underground spaces make it tough for signals to travel.
The result?
⚠️ Sensors going offline in critical areas
⚠️ Gaps in data that affect decision-making
⚠️ Extra time and cost spent trying to fix coverage after installation

These challenges are common across offices, warehouses, and other large facilities — and they’re the reason we looked for a better way to plan networks.

That’s where KONA Radiant comes in. It provides real measurements of signal quality (RSSI, SNR, packet success) so teams can:
🔍 See where coverage is strong or weak
📍 Place gateways more effectively
✅ Confirm sensors will stay connected before rollout

Instead of leaving teams to guess, our approach is to pair reliable hardware with the tools and support needed to deploy it effectively. KONA Radiant is part of that — helping customers plan with confidence and avoid the frustrations of trial-and-error.

🚚 Is enough for large-scale asset tracking?

Many companies start with BLE-only tracking because it looks simple and affordable. But did you know that BLE signals weaken after just 20 meters — even without walls or obstacles? Add in access points on the same 2.4 GHz band, and interference quickly makes coverage unreliable.

So what happens next? To keep visibility, teams add more readers. But this leads to:

1️⃣ Higher infrastructure costs.
2️⃣ More points of failure.
3️⃣ Blind spots that still remain.

Now imagine a fleet with thousands of assets moving between plants, yards, and trailers. Would you trust a system that can’t guarantee coverage everywhere?

This is why hybrid + trackers make sense:

📡 Reliable coverage – LoRaWAN has up to 50 dB more link budget than BLE, covering entire facilities and even inside trailers with just a few gateways.

🔄 Indoor + outdoor visibility – BLE gives precise zone-level positioning (e.g., which trailer a pallet is in), while LoRaWAN ensures continuous data transmission across wide areas.

💰 Lower costs, easier scaling – fewer gateways mean lower upfront investment, easier maintenance, and a solution that can grow to tens of thousands of devices without redesign.

🔋 Battery health monitoring – unlike BLE-only, hybrid devices report battery levels and send alerts before failures, avoiding hundreds of “lost” trackers in large fleets.

In other words, + delivers the best of both worlds: local precision and global reliability — without the trade-offs.

👉 If you had to track thousands of assets across multiple sites, which approach would you choose?

❓ Do you really need real-time GPS updates for every shipment?

Most companies don’t. What they actually need is:
✔️ To know when goods left and arrived
✔️ To confirm if conditions (temperature, humidity, shocks, vibration) were safe

Here’s how meets those needs:
🏭 Coverage where it matters — warehouses, trailers, delivery sites
📡 Reliable indoors, unlike GPS or cellular signals
📍 Hybrid accuracy with BLE & WiFi
🔋 Multi-year battery life with no SIM or roaming fees

The result → lower costs, reliable visibility, and smarter supply chains.

When people think about improving building ROI, the first answer is usually energy savings. But that’s only part of the picture.

From our work with facility leaders, the biggest ROI drivers often come from:
✔️ Avoiding costly repairs with early alerts before failures escalate.
✔️ Reducing manual checks by automating monitoring and reporting.
✔️ Keeping tenants comfortable — because satisfied tenants stay longer.
✔️ Streamlining ESG reporting directly into existing BMS systems (BACnet, Modbus, Niagara).

ROI isn’t just about cutting costs — it’s about reducing risk, improving efficiency, and creating long-term value for both owners and tenants.

👉 Which of these do you see making the strongest impact in your buildings?

🧮 Planning a LoRaWAN® deployment?

It’s not about choosing the cheapest gateway — it’s about achieving the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) and the highest ROI.

Here’s why TEKTELIC customers see savings from Day One to Year Five:
🚀 End-to-end solutions = faster deployments
📡 Stronger coverage = fewer gateways required
🛠️ Predictive maintenance = fewer truck rolls and site visits
🔐 Secure, compliant hardware = no costly replacements
📈 Works out of the box = faster ROI

💰 In a 500-gateway rollout, TEKTELIC customers reduced TCO by up to 30% over five years compared to multi-vendor networks.

Smart organizations don’t invest in the lowest price — they invest in outcomes that last.

💡 What’s more expensive than buying a premium LoRaWAN® gateway?
A “cheaper” one that fails in year two.

When building a network, sticker price is only the tip of the iceberg. Gateway hardware is often just ~5% of the total cost over 5 years. The bigger costs come from:

- Site acquisition & installation
- Downtime & service interruptions
- Truck rolls for replacements
- Ongoing software & integration

That’s why reliability is everything. TEKTELIC gateways are engineered to last:
✅ 15–20-year MTBF
✅ Rugged IP67 design
✅ Industrial-grade RF sensitivity

👉 Fewer failures. Fewer truck rolls. Lower OPEX.

📉 One major utility avoided over $1M in unnecessary truck rolls simply by choosing reliability-first infrastructure.

When it comes to LoRaWAN® networks, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) always wins over the “lowest price.”

Why Not Wi-Fi or Zigbee for Large Buildings? 📡🚧

When scaling your to hundreds or thousands of sensors, not all wireless tech performs equally:

🚫 High Interference – Wi-Fi and Zigbee operate in crowded frequency bands, causing signal dropouts and unreliable connections in busy environments.
🔋 Short Battery Life – Higher power draw means frequent maintenance and battery changes.
📉 Limited Range & Scalability – Coverage gaps and network congestion make them inefficient for large, multi-floor facilities.

is built for scale: sub-GHz, long range, and ultra-low power. It avoids mesh complexity, reduces infrastructure requirements, and delivers 5–10 year sensor battery life—making it ideal for large, complex buildings.

The Top 3 LoRaWAN® Use Cases with Fastest ROI 💶

Modernizing your building systems? Start where the returns are proven.

📉 Here are the top LoRaWAN®-enabled use cases in Europe delivering rapid payback:

1️⃣ Water Leak Detection
💧 A single leak can cause €50,000+ in damage. LoRaWAN® sensors send instant alerts to prevent costly disasters.
➡ ROI: Often under 6 months

2️⃣ HVAC Optimization
🔥 Real-time temperature and occupancy sensors help reduce over-heating or cooling.
➡ One UK care facility cut heating costs by 20% using LoRaWAN thermostats
➡ ROI: ~1 year

3️⃣ Lighting Control via Occupancy Sensors
💡 Don’t light empty spaces. LoRaWAN PIR sensors turn off lights when rooms are vacant.
➡ 25% energy savings on average
