Layer 1 Technologies designs and deploys low-power sensor networks (LoRaWAN / LPWAN) for IoT in industrial sites, agricultural facilities, campuses and Smart City projects. These networks connect thousands of sensors without cabling or SIMs, with minimal energy consumption and wide area coverage.
LoRaWAN is the most widespread non-cellular LPWAN technology, ideal for private or public sensor networks where low power, low cost and independence from carriers are critical.
LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network): Umbrella term for all long-range, low-power networks — includes LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT and others.
LoRa (Long Range): The physical layer (radio modulation) used to transmit a signal over long distances at low power. It does not define network or security protocols; it defines transmission characteristics.
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network): The full network protocol running over LoRa. It covers device management, encryption, servers and transport to the Internet. Supports private or public LoRaWAN networks with thousands of sensors.
NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT): A standard based on cellular networks (LTE), uses SIMs and belongs to mobile operators. It offers wide coverage, but requires per-device subscriptions and has higher energy consumption than LoRaWAN.
Our role in the IoT ecosystem is at the infrastructure and integration level: we handle the RF study, installation of gateways and sensors, network configuration, and integration with the software platforms of partners or clients — we don’t provide or support those platforms ourselves.
Layer 1 acts as a technical partner to software vendors, municipalities and industrial clients, delivering stable connectivity, interoperability and documented performance. When required, we can deliver the entire technical stack — sensors, gateways, network server and commissioning — so you can focus solely on the application and the value of the data.
