A vertical dipole antenna is a type of antenna that consists of two conductive elements oriented vertically in parallel. This antenna design offers several advantages that make it a popular choice for various applications, particularly in the field of radio communication. Let’s explore the key advantages of a vertical dipole antenna: While vertical dipole antennas …
What is Lorawan First of all, what is Lorawan. It is a wireless technology that allows small amounts of data to be sent between a remote sensor (such as a river level detector), and the Internet. Lorawan technology is very efficient at sending the sensor data over long distances, whilst consuming very little power. This …
What is it The Things Network is a worldwide crowd funded LoraWAN Internet Of Things Network, which started in Amsterdam. It consists of sensors, such as air quality sensors that transmit data wirelessly via ‘Gateway’ devices to the Internet Cloud. It is rapidly expanding around the world, including the UK. Why do we need this …

We are experienced in:- Research Our staff have experience of working for Astrium Space, now re-named Airbus Defence & Space. Experience in researching X- Band Space Communications …
The Internet of Things or IoT for short is already known to the public through innovative products, such as body-worn fitness monitors, that record and upload data to the internet.
In the industrial sectors, such as manufacturing, new systems are being developed to replace existing infrastructure, to improve efficiency.
However, what about perfectly good existing equipment that you, as a business, do not want to replace. The answer is to retrofit equipment, to make it ‘Smart’.
It is convenient to break down the IOT process in terms of:-
Input-Process-Output
Therefore retrofitting the Internet of Things….tb continued
This is the first of our videos on retrofitting the Internet of Things to existing industries, such as factories, agriculture and cities.
Star-Delta Starters are used to start larger ac induction motors used in industries, such as Manufacturing and Marine. Like ‘Direct Online’ (DOL) starters, which are also used for ac induction motors starting (though smaller, lower current motors), Star-Delta starters only turn the motor on and off at a single speed. With the growth in the …
LoraWAN IOT Things Network Lincoln is a worldwide crowdfunded and community operated IOT The network uses a narrowband radio technology called LoraWAN. LoraWAN operates in the UK and EU on 868MHz frequency. The 868MHz frequency is what is known as an ISM band. ISM stands for Industrial, Scientific, Medical. ISM bands are unlicensed bands, so …
Applying the Internet of Things (IOT) to Induction Motor Monitoring
Induction motors are found in all sorts of industries and applications, both on land and offshore.
Challenge of Installing IOT Sensor Equipment in Explosion-Proof Areas, by Craig Miles IoT, or the Internet of Things is already changing the way that businesses function, and this is set to explode in the forthcoming years. IoT is all about improving business efficiency by collecting information (via sensors) about the physical world (Inputs such as …
Lincoln Farmer Recently we were contacted by a farmer, based just outside of the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. He had had a system supplied and installed by another company a few years ago, however, the performance had decreased over time. The first task was to carry out a through audit of the installed equipment. This …
