Semtech Corporation announced that Polysense Technologies Inc. has built Semtech’s LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology) into its Structure Health Monitoring (SHM) system to enable remote and real-time monitoring of building structure safety and integrity. Polysense’s SHM system consists of various LoRa-based IoT sensors, a LoRa-based gateway, and a proprietary Cloud-based data management platform. A four to six-story building is equipped with an end-to-end solution consisting of several sensors on the walls and roof to measure building surface wall crack growth, tilt and vibration, and often a soil moisture sensor to monitor water saturation at the building’s foundation, at a fractional cost of the traditional wired solution or human inspection. Typically, one gateway is used per residential complex. Additionally, Polysense provides the LoRaWAN™-based network and mobile applications for real-time monitoring of building status.
