The firm provides end-to-end IoT solutions, encompassing proprietary chips, sensors, communication modules, base stations, and a cloud platform. Its business model focuses on delivering these integrated systems to clients in sectors such as smart cities, smart buildings, asset tracking, energy management, and environmental monitoring. Revenue is generated through the sale of its hardware and likely through recurring fees for access to its cloud platform and data analytics services. Sensoro serves a global clientele, including municipalities, building managers, and various industries, helping them reduce operational costs and enhance productivity.
At the core of Sensoro’s offerings is the Alpha Suite, an industrial-grade wireless sensor network that combines ultra-long-range, low-power IoT-WAN communication with Bluetooth Low Energy technology. This suite includes products like the Alpha Base Station, designed for wide outdoor coverage, and the Alpha Gateway for indoor scenarios, both capable of supporting thousands of sensor devices across vast areas. A key differentiator for Sensoro's technology is its emphasis on ultra-low power consumption and the capacity to support large-scale sensor deployments, which is evident in major projects like providing fire safety for the Potala Palace and environmental monitoring for Manchester City Verve.
