Connode is positioned at the confluence of two very important trends: Sustainability (i.e. building a Sustainable Society) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications (or “The Internet of Things”).
M2M Communications is one of the key enablers for the Sustainable Society, for building new environmentally friendly services and to optimize production and consumption of conventional and alternative energy.
Connode is the result of more than ten years of developing and implementing communication solutions for smart devices. It is a generic, Industrial Grade M2M communications solution that is now being adopted for a wide range of applications. |

Solution areas where Connode is an optimal communications tool include: |
|
|
|
|
- Smart Metering (Electricity/Smart Grid, Gas, Water)
- Operation of Lighting Systems (Street Lighting etc.)
- Industry sensor and feedback solutions (Submetering, Traffic Control Systems and SCADA, etc.)
All of these areas are important components in a Sustainable Society. |
|
|
|
|
Common Industrial Grade M2M Communications requirements for the various applications are: |
|
|
|
|
- Highly robust communications with predictable quality.
- Handling large numbers of devices in different geographic areas, each ranging from a few meters up to many kilometers
- Cost-effective, scalable and flexible deployment and operation of large or very large numbers of stationary or semi-stationary devices/machines
- Separation of the communication network from the delivery network.
- Based on open standards
All of these are met by Connode. |
