Telecommunications technology via Lorawan in Moosseedorf
The municipality of Moosseedorf maintains numerous infrastructures that are constantly monitored. In a municipality, many systems and infrastructures must be constantly monitored. This is also the case in Moosseedorf, a Swiss municipality with around 3,500 residents. Up until now, faults were recorded directly on the respective system and sent to the responsible person via 2G SMS. This technology is outdated and Moosseedorf was looking for a new solution.
Ultimately, the municipality opted for a smart and unique solution on the Switzercloud with LoRaWAN technology. The previous transmission modules were replaced with LoRaWAN® devices. As soon as a system detects a fault, it is sent to the Switzercloud via the municipality's own LoRaWAN and processed there. From now on, the escalation ladder defined with Moosseedorf is used. The Switzercloud can send SMS, make calls with voice messages, acknowledge alarms and much more. Ideally, the system is simply restarted remotely by the Switzercloud and everyone receives confirmation when everything is working properly again. This can possibly prevent an on-site visit.
The system monitors the cooling systems in the lido, wastewater levels in pumping stations, heating faults in school buildings and faults in wood chip heating systems.
