Imagine thousands of deployed IoT devices in an urban environment, vast numbers of devices that transmit and consume small amounts of data. Low Power (LPWAN) connectivity technologies such as LoRaWAN and Sigfox are key connectivity technologies for the rollout of such IoT solutions. To reduce energy consumption and keep the data packets as small as possible, LPWAN devices send their data via a payload encoded in formats that differ from standard data payloads. This complicates their setup and use in the Azure IoT Ecosystem with all its features, leaving many potential use cases unfeasible. The new Azure IoT Hub output connector of akenza will improve the state of things.
Akenza offers a low-code IoT platform allowing you to build IoT products and services by connecting, controlling, and managing such IoT devices. By offering multiple Output connectors, akenza allows you further data processing in 3rd party applications with minimal effort.
Specifically, it is now possible for akenza users to connect their Azure IoT Hub instance as a data destination. Device data from the akenza platform can simply be processed to the specific Azure IoT Hub and be further used for any Azure product. The process of connecting the specific Azure IoT Hub to akenza can be done in a few clicks on Data Flow level and is entirely automated, enabling a secure, reliable communication between any Low Power sensor and the Azure IoT Hub.
This integration enables smart city, smart building and smart industry use cases in the low power massive IoT- ecosystem.
