The technology
To optimise network management and sensor performance, HandsOn Systems has integrated The Things Stack Cloud into its infrastructure.
“The Things Stack is a crucial layer in the complete solution being offered to the customer,” says Geoffrey Farrugia, Managing Director at HandsOn Systems, “It allows our company to offer an end-to-end solution with the flexibility required to support and integrate various devices, gateways and web applications together.”
For this use case, HandsOn Systems uses RAKwireless and Milesight gateways, as well as Milesight, Daviteq and Abeeway sensors.
