All that’s needed is something like a LoRaWAN network to connect to.LoRaWAN is a long-range, wide-area network on a different frequency band to WiFi.
As a result, it doesn’t compete with cell phones and other devices connected via WiFi on construction sites.As LoRaWAN is very long-range, it enables construction sites to be quite remote, representing great potential for Australia where it’s not unusual to travel five to ten hours to a site.Europe is already covered in LoRaWAN with something like 10,000 gateways across Europe, over 1,000 in Australia, and around 800 in the U.S. One barrier which presents for the latter, is that their cellular network, which runs across states, makes it difficult to talk between networks.
As such, we need to remove that network issue from IoT construction.In the case of LoRaWAN, private networks can be established, in addition to the public ones.
Lamont believes these private networks are where we’ll see real genesis and IoT technology emerging in construction.
WiFi is full, however this would make millions of IP addresses available to us..A thought-leader and leading author within the MMC/Platform construction space, Johnston talks about the development of the.
UK Government’s Construction Playbook., whose core policy – harmonise, digitise and rationalise demand – creates a new opportunity to apply a consistent set of technical standards to assets being built across the public sector..
This level of standardisation has the capability to create fewer documents and standards, giving the market a much better opportunity to respond, he says.Johnston feels that the adoption of a more standardised, foundational approach will act as a springboard, setting up the opportunity to work with more sophisticated industrialised construction techniques like prefab and DfMA.. Amy Marks is fine with the idea of standardisation but thinks things also depend on how performance-based, or prescriptive those standards are.
