Scheduled for completion by 2030, the rollout will use low-power LoRaWAN gateways that can keep devices running for up to five years without battery replacement. The gateways are solar-powered, offering a more cost-efficient and sustainable option for low-data transmission use cases compared with 4G, 5G or WiFi.
iWOW Technology will be expanding its wireless Alert Alarm System (AAS) initiative across the island, building on its 2019 pilot that equipped seniors in public rental flats with emergency alert buttons. The Singapore-listed technology company specialises in delivering integrated wireless Internet of Things (IoT) solutions as a service
The wireless AAS connects alert buttons in homes to a 24/7 hotline. iWOW will provide the devices while SPTel supplies its island-wide long-range wide area (LoRaWAN) network, multi-network SIM solution and IoT-as-a-Service platform to ensure reliable and resilient connectivity.
