The Role of LoRaWAN in Hazardous Areas
summary
Companies report 9,000 sensors deployed at a refinery with an ROI in year one, devices claiming 8–9 year battery life and Zone 0 certified hardware for hazardous areas. Ultrasonic sensors measure 2.5–7 m for tank and waste-level use, a new Wilson valve sensor detects open/closed states, and LoRaWAN gateways plus The Things Stack network server handle thousands of end nodes with OTA updates and time sync. Deployments are stepwise proofs of concept that scale when reliability and total cost of ownership match industrial risk tolerance.
