Opportunities for the Münster Region.
How we can support key local sectors:
Smart City & Administration
Münster focuses on sustainability and citizen engagement.
Water level monitoring at the Aa and Werse rivers, parking sensors in the harbor district, fill level monitoring for public bins. All data flows into a central Urban Data Platform.
LoRaWAN Sensors & Urban Data Platform.
AgriTech & Environment
The Münsterland thrives on agriculture.
Soil moisture monitoring, weather stations in the field, irrigation control. One gateway on the farm covers hectares of distant areas. No SIM cards, no recurring costs per sensor.
Milesight Soil Sensors & Custom Dashboards.
Facility Management
Large building complexes need smart control.
Indoor climate monitoring for university hospitals and administrative buildings, room occupancy for flexible workspaces, energy monitoring per ISO 50001. We integrate with existing building management systems.
CO2 Sensors, People Counters & Energy Management.
Technology That Works in the Münsterland.
LoRaWAN is ideal for Münster. In the old town, the signal penetrates thick walls and basements (deep indoor). In the countryside, a single gateway bridges up to 15 kilometers across open fields.
We use industrial-grade hardware (IP67) and open-source software like ChirpStack and Grafana. No vendor lock-ins, full data sovereignty on German servers.
