Tasmania deploys LoRaWAN
®
IoT Network to
address Smart Grid use case and more
Benefit: Achieving substantial cost savings in monitoring
remote and challenging-to-access assets, coupled with
revenue generation through the IoT network monetization.
TasNetworks, a Tasmanian Government-owned company, oversees electricity transmission and
distribution across Tasmania, Australia
Challenge
➢ Establish an IoT network capable of monitoring power grid assets situated in remote and
rugged terrain.
➢ Additionally, find revenue-generating opportunities from this IoT network.
Solution
➢ TasNetworks collaborated with NNNCo to deploy a robust LoRaWAN Network, powered by
Actility's ThingPark Wireless platform.
➢ LoRaWAN selection was based on assets being in remote and challenging locations where
traditional connectivity, such as cellular, is neither available nor cost-effective to implement.
➢ To monetize the IoT Network, TasNetworks telecoms division, 42-24, will offer connectivity
services to local councils, enterprises, and agricultural operations, among others.
