EMBER
EMBER is an industrial LoRaWAN platform that transmits and processes measured sensor values and controls actuators across industrial sites. Each site combines an outdoor EMBER Hotspot gateway with LoRaWAN devices such as CHESTER, LTE backhaul via Onomondo, and a LoRaWAN Network Server — ChirpStack or The Things Stack, either self-hosted by the customer or operated by HARDWARIO as a managed service, with Node-RED for low-code REST integrations — so data can be visualized and processed either in the cloud or on-premise.
