Suffolk and Norfolk Innovation Network – Suffolk’s LoRaWAN Network Launch

We excited to launch our next step in expanding the digital connectivity of Suffolk. Working in partnership with Norfolk County Council and with funding from the New Anglia LEP – we are helping create the largest public sector Low-power wide area network (LoRaWAN) in the UK and we want you to be a part of it.

As part of the Suffolk and Norfolk Innovation Network, Suffolk businesses will be able to create and modify their own sensors to be part of our industry-leading new sensor network, which we will be officially launching on Friday 19 February.

• Join us to hear from Mark Stanley – a LoRaWAN expert who will explain exactly how this exciting new technology works, helping you to see ways it will benefit you and your business.
• Hear from Suffolk Highways and the ADEPT SMART Places Live Labs Programme and see how sensors are already being used to better control streetlighting.
• Matthew Applegate, from the Creative Computer Club joins us to talk about how young people are benefiting from monitoring more of the things around them, and how young people will be helping to develop some sensor ideas of their own.

Whether it’s measuring temperature, footfall, energy use or travelling habits – there is a sensor which could potentially revolutionise your industry and be the next big thing to drive your business forwards. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be an early adopter of using this new tech.

This event will take place online, from 2pm on Friday 19 February 2021 with a joining link updated here closer to the time.
