Delft, The Netherlands, June 24, 2021: Everynet, the world’s largest network operator for national LoRaWAN networks, along with Crown Castle have launched the national LoRaWAN Internet of Things (IoT) network in the United States.
The first phase of Everynet’s national network rollout will include the top 36 metropolitan areas and key logistics corridors across the United States, expected to go live by the end of 2021, according to a press release. With this deployment, Everynet furthers its position as the leading provider of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology around the globe, which is already processing billions of messages.
Everynet’s neutral-host business model enables mobile network operators (MNOs), mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), application service providers (ASPs), managed service providers (MSPs) and internet service providers (ISPs) to offer carrier grade Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) IoT services to their customers. In addition to the US market, Everynet networks are live in Brazil, Indonesia, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy, Puerto Rico, Ireland and Iceland. Everynet also participates in the LoRa Alliance global association that offers roaming to more than 27 countries across the globe.
“Expansion to the U.S. market is an important part of our global development. Our ultra-low-cost networks are already live across the globe, and we are pleased to enable nationwide, no CAPEX, turn-key IoT networks for our CSP partners,” said Lawrence Latham, Chief Executive Officer of Everynet. “Everynet networks deliver carrier grade connectivity, with built-in resilience, security and meaningful SLAs without any need for network CAPEX from our wholesale customers.”
To enable the network, Everynet will utilize Crown Castle’s tower assets. Crown Castle is the largest provider of communications infrastructure in the United States. Featuring more than 40,000 cell towers and nearly 80,000 route miles of fiber, Crown Castle has the existing infrastructure and deployment capability for the long-term buildout of this network. Everynet’s 15-year commitment ensures that LoRaWAN customers, across the U.S., can easily go live on the network to monetize their deployments such as smart sensors or monitoring tools.
The top uses for the Everynet network include:
· Utilities: Applications to remotely monitor, maintain and gather data on water systems, substations, smart grid reclosers, transformers, LPG gas and residential and commercial metering.
· Supply Chain Logistics: Tracking and monitoring critical assets such as pallets, containers and goods. By managing the geo-location, cold-chain monitoring, humidity and shock, enterprises can effectively receive real-time data on the movement, condition and arrival of assets through the complete supply chain.
· Smart Infrastructure: Applications to check air quality and monitor status of buildings and infrastructure such as lighting, HVAC, water utilization and leak detection, CO2, occupancy sensors and worker safety – all critical components to a safe return to work post-pandemic.
