Techneed (Pvt) Ltd, one of Sri Lanka’s growing high-tech internet of things(IoT) start-ups, last week announced the deployment of its “Nurve IoT Gateway” in one of the largest telecom service providers in Sri Lanka.

Essentially the gateway enables the service provider to centrally monitor the environment variables in the machine room, such as temperature, humidity, movements, water level, etc. from the Network Operations Centre (NOC), thus enabling improvements in operational efficiency.

The cutting edge gateway device has been already deployed at close to 500 remote unmanned stations, the company said in a media release. The purpose built device is designed, fabricated and manufactured locally by Techneed’s own skilled resources consisting of hardware and software engineers. Essentially the sensors attached to the gateway primarily keep track on the environment, and based on the reading and the values set in the sensor, the signal is digitally converted and carried over the IP network, thus providing a representation of the state of the environment in the station, in a graphical format.

Techneed has a rich portfolio of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) based IoT sensors for all situations such as water level monitoring, temperature and humidity monitoring, movement monitoring, to name a few. This is pivotal in providing solutions in Smart Car Park Management, Smart Waste Management, Smart Water Management. Particularly the Sensors and gateways are based on LORA protocol and CAT-M IOT technologies, the release added.

‘Techneed has fit for purpose Home based IoT Systems and sensors to cater the Smart Home requirement. There are three challenges in deploying any of the IoT based projects; First, Understanding the Use Case and Designing and Building out the Sensors, Gateway and the associated communication channel. Second is Aggregating all the sensor data and device information, to a hosted IoT middleware in the Cloud and Third challenge is Value adding to provide Management reports, Analytics, and integrating to the Enterprise productivity tools such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP),” said Buddhika Kondasinghe, Co-Founder & CTO of Techneed (Pvt) Ltd.
