Category: Live Labs 1 outputs Suffolk Cellular Communications IOT LoRaWAN Zigbee
This report discusses the network access technologies used in the Smarter Suffolk project. It discusses the generic technologies available, and then their deployment in the Smarter Suffolk project. It discusses technical specification and literature review findings for the communication network technologies used in the project, and some other selected technologies not deployed within the project but of similar interest. It then summarises the solutions deployed by different suppliers to the project, discussing similarities, differences and correlations between these different solutions. The report then discusses benefits and disbenefits of different technologies in the context of the project’s use cases, it reflects on recommendations for network connectivity for connected places in Suffolk, and draws conclusions.
