Low Power Wireless Networks

About

Nwave is a leading provider of network solutions, hardware and software for the IoT and m2m communications, based around its ultra narrow-band communications protocol operating in license-exempt sub-1ghz ism spectrum. The Nwave platform is ideal for high volume smart cities applications, while also enabling the penetration of the Internet of Things into areas poorly served by traditional cellular or short range technologies, and is opening up new possibilities in everything from smart agriculture and advanced metering infrastructure, to smart parking, smart health and asset monitoring. Our core business is the development and deployment of low cost, low power, long range wireless networks for the IoT, and the development of high volume, high impact vertical IoT solutions in the areas of AMI (advanced metering infrastructure), smart agriculture and smart parking. With the support of our experienced team of radio and software engineers, we are also able to help third party developers bring their own IoT applications to life. We are committed to helping to create a connected world, in which devices can be connected cheaply, efficiently, and securely, giving businesses, governments and individuals access to real-time data which can be used to improve our quality of life through intelligent applications allowing us to interpret and act upon real-time data flows from connected devices. The only thing limiting the scope of the Internet of Things is imagination, and Nwave is dedicated to setting the world’s imagination free. Nwave uses Ultra Narrow Band (UNB) radio technology combined with advanced Software Defined Radio (SDR) techniques to provide its communications network for the Internet of Things. Ultra Narrow Band, which operates in internationally available and unlicensed  sub-1ghz radio spectrum (ISM bands), allows for excellent signal propagation, giving exceptional in-building penetration and range, while consuming very little power. Nwave’s advanced de-modulation techniques allow our network to co-exist within the ISM bands with other radio technologies without the risk of collisions and capacity problems. Unlike some other IoT communications technologies that require the use of a mesh network, UNB is also highly scalable, allowing for high capacity networks with a simple star architecture, whereby devices communicate directly with base station transceivers. Nwave has worked hard to ensure that data sent over its networks are secure, so our platform is suitable for use in applications where data privacy and security are critical.
