THE MACHINE NETWORK IN NEW ORLEANS
The first nationwide network for machines is now available in Louisiana.
New Orleans is the kind of city that bustles with activity at every hour of the day. No matter how busy things get, the Machine Network will be running, providing the kind of reliable capacity and data coverage connected devices and strategic services across the city require to keep things running smooth as can be. Five high-powered RPMA access points deliver unparalleled connectivity to a population of nearly one million and their machines. RPMA, or Random Phase Multiple Access, is a purpose-built wireless technology for machines that provides absurdly great battery life and long-distance communication through a professionally-managed network: the Machine Network.
RPMA technology enables machines and devices to communicate more efficiently and reliably than ever before. With the launch of the Machine Network in New Orleans, municipalities, agencies, and local businesses will be able to leverage its always-available, ubiquitous coverage to build Internet of Things applications.
The Machine Network is rapidly being deployed across the country. To find out when the network is coming to your area, check out our coverage tracker.
Bringing the Internet of Things
TO NEW ORLEANS
Billions of devices are expected to join the Internet of Things in coming years, but enormous figures like those require bright minds developing innovative, killer applications that can be deployed across the globe. By its very nature, RPMA makes developing a globally-available IoT application easy. With the New Orleans region expected to gain 7,000 job openings in digital fields over the next ten years, the Big Easy has everything at its fingertips to be a true hotbed for innovation and connected technologies.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is supposed to have billions of devices connected that will bring greater efficiencies and savings. But how exactly is that done? The IoT requires well placed sensors that transmit information wirelessly back to the cloud or other storage medium. That information is either used live for things like monitoring or control or is analyzed later to optimize and automate processes. In this document, we will show you ways in which this vision has already been achieved around the globe using Ingenu’s wireless technology, RPMA.
The IoT requires wireless technology to connect devices that collect information. Ingenu is a wireless connectivity provider dedicated exclusively to machine connectivity. Ingenu’s Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) technology provides wireless connectivity to devices allowing them to communicate back to their owners. RPMA has connected smart devices for years. RPMA is a thoroughly proven technology enabling dozens of private networks including verticals such as the smart city, smart grid, asset tracking, and oil and gas since 2008.
In this collection of case studies, we’ll explore ways in which RPMA has brought value to citizens, cities, governments, businesses and enterprises. While some of these case studies are specific to a particular vertical, many may be generalized across other industries. The value of the IoT is real today, and RPMA makes that value real.
