Senet Eyes RAN Partnerships as Key to Delivering Network Services for Massive IoT

 Extracting more value from wireless networks, whether from new revenue-generating services or new business models, requires new capabilities. This is especially true when it comes to supporting a growing number of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. To meet the challenges that come with providing network connectivity for IoT solutions at today’s projected growth rates, one company is executing a strategy underpinned by the belief that network services for massive IoT will be built on partnership.

Given a recent infusion of capital into the company, Senet - a provider of cloud-based software and services platforms that enable global connectivity and on-demand network build-outs for IoT - is not wasting any time in expanding their service offering. Last week, the company announced a full suite of RAN planning and management tools, business development programs, and co-marketing initiatives to “support the deployment of commercial LoRaWAN solutions, broadening the opportunity for traditional infrastructure providers and other physical asset owners to participate in the IoT services economy.”

As large 5G networks are being rolled out around the world, with particular acceleration in the U.S., Senet may be banking on the premise that there is no one size fits all connectivity technology for IoT, and Tier Ones may be ready to diversify their offerings to support a broader range of how hard is computer science applications. The same may hold true for Cable companies, Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISP), and others looking to participate in the IoT services economy.

As the IoT generally grows beyond the Proof of Concept and trial stages and into the field – literally in the case of agricultural deployments, and figurately across nearly every industry where the monitoring, management, maintenance, and optimization of physical assets promises massive gains in yield and productivity - Senet is leveraging their experience in building and managing LoRaWAN networks across the U.S. and globally, to introduce RAN tools and services to support the varying needs of IoT solution providers and end-users.
