Core Technologies
The People’s Network allows anyone to build out massive, cost-effective wireless infrastructures in an entirely new business model that benefits all stakeholders.
IoT
Devices like pet trackers, temperature sensors, motion detectors, people counter for bars and restaurants, smart thermostats, humidity sensors, among many other awesome solutions.
LoRaWAN
Long Range Wide Area Network. It’s a standard for wireless communication that allows IoT devices to communicate over large distance with minimal battery usage.
Proof of Coverage
A unique algorithm that uses radio waves to validate Nodes are providing legitimate wireless coverage. Nodes broadcast signals to other Nodes, those that hear respond, responses heard by the broadcasting Node are recorded and reported.
Internet of Things
The Internet of things is a network of devices—“things”—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies. These things connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet. For this network to exist in the most ideal way it needs to be open and have ubiquitous coverage.
Mycelium Networks has been building a testbed for technology innovation in Northwest Arkansas. Our Nodes are the infrastructure that will power the network built for IoT. The applications created due to this technology will be endless. Enable the future, sign up to Host a Node!
LoRaWAN
It’s a standard for wireless communication that allows IoT devices to communicate over long distance with minimal battery usage. It’s simply a wireless communication standard.
We can place it in the same category of Bluetooth, GSM, 4G, LTE, etc. but it’s still different. It has the range of your mobile phone with the flexibility of WiFi or Bluetooth and the battery life of your watch.
Proof-of-coverage
Verifies that Nodes are located where they claim. This process uses an algorithm to randomly generate signal exchange between Nodes on an ongoing basis to verify reliable network connection and signal strength.
PoC takes advantage of the unique, undeniable properties of radio frequency to prove a meaningful network, wireless network coverage and it’s participants
Long Range Wide Area Network
LoRaWAN is our specialty and the core of what we have built. Mycelium Networks’ Nodes communicate using a sub 1 Gigahertz radio frequency, allowing small packets of data to be broadcasted from miles away and still make it to the internet: making this network setup attractive to IoT device manufacturers.
Devices operating on top of a LoRaWAN benefit from extended network coverage without the need for a cellular data plan or connecting to multiple WiFis. They also have exceptional battery life off of a single charge. We build LoRaWANs so future technologies and applications can be built for you!
The world’s first decentralized wireless network that provides a secure and cost-effective way for low-power Internet of Things devices to send data to and from the internet without a cellular data plan or WiFi.
PRIVATE & SECURE
End-to-End encryption from Device to Cloud.
LOW POWER USAGE
Our node uses less power than your phone charger.
LOW BANDWIDTH
You don’t need to worry about slowing down your internet.
Network Statistics
Mycelium Networks reviews the Proof-of-Coverage reports to know which areas are well covered and which areas are in need of more Nodes.
We also monitor the amount of smart device data flowing over our network along with if our Nodes are online, offline, or not performing correctly.
