From LoRaWAN network planning to managed IoT hosting and platform development -- your IoT service provider for Sydney's port logistics, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects. Remote delivery from Germany, AU915 frequency, proven in Australia.
Sydney is Australia's financial capital, largest tech startup ecosystem, and home to the country's busiest container port at Port Botany. With major infrastructure projects such as WestConnex and Sydney Metro, a booming commercial real estate sector across the CBD and North Shore, and growing demand for smart building and logistics solutions, Sydney drives diverse requirements for connected operations and intelligent infrastructure. We deliver IoT platforms remotely from Germany -- proven in Australia through our reference project with ABCO Water. All systems operate on the AU915 frequency band, configured and managed by WZ-IT.
Your IoT platform is built and managed remotely from Germany. Hardware ships directly to Sydney, platforms are deployed and monitored 24/7 -- no on-site presence required for ongoing operations.
Proactive monitoring of all IoT services with automatic alerts. Guaranteed response times via SLA -- the CET/AEST overlap ensures daily handover windows for real-time collaboration.
No ticket system, no call center. Your direct line to the engineer managing your IoT instance for Sydney -- with structured communication across time zones.

Complete LoRaWAN network deployment for Sydney: hardware selection (Milesight gateways & sensors configured for AU915), radio coverage analysis for port facilities, commercial buildings, and construction sites, gateway provisioning, and network server configuration. From planning to commissioning -- all from one source.
End-to-end development of your IoT solution: custom web apps, mobile apps, Grafana and ThingsBoard dashboards. From port logistics visualization to construction site monitoring -- individually developed for Sydney-based operations.
IoT platforms for container tracking, port infrastructure monitoring, and vessel management at Port Botany and Darling Harbour. Real-time asset visibility, environmental condition sensing, and logistics flow optimization -- all managed via ChirpStack and ThingsBoard dashboards operated by WZ-IT.

We handle the entire process remotely: platform architecture, hardware configuration, and managed hosting are delivered from Germany. Milesight gateways and sensors ship directly to your Sydney location pre-configured for AU915. Installation guides and remote commissioning support ensure seamless on-site setup. Ongoing platform operations, monitoring, and updates are fully managed from our side.
The CET/AEST overlap provides a daily collaboration window in the morning (Sydney time) and late afternoon (German time). We structure project meetings and handovers within this window. Platform monitoring runs 24/7 regardless of time zones, with automatic alerts and guaranteed SLA response times.
Yes. Our reference project with ABCO Water in Australia demonstrates our capability to deliver full IoT solutions remotely -- from platform setup and AU915 LoRaWAN configuration to ongoing managed operations. The same proven process applies to all Sydney projects.
We deploy IP67-rated Milesight sensors designed for harsh environments including salt spray, high humidity, and temperature extremes. For port logistics at Port Botany, we use GPS trackers, vibration sensors, and environmental monitors -- all connected via LoRaWAN on the AU915 band with long-range coverage across open port areas.
Yes. The Milesight hardware we deploy carries IP67 protection ratings and is designed for outdoor and industrial use. For port and coastal installations around Sydney Harbour and Port Botany, we select enclosures and mounting solutions rated for salt-laden maritime environments.
LoRaWAN-based trackers attached to containers and assets transmit location and status data to ChirpStack gateways positioned across the port facility. ThingsBoard dashboards provide real-time visibility of asset positions, movement history, and dwell times. Geofencing alerts notify operators when assets enter or leave designated zones.
Yes. We design temporary LoRaWAN deployments with portable gateways and battery-powered sensors that can be set up and relocated as construction phases progress. Ideal for projects like WestConnex and Sydney Metro where monitoring zones shift over time. All data flows into a central ThingsBoard platform for unified project visibility.
Our sensor portfolio covers dust particulate levels, noise levels, vibration intensity, temperature, humidity, and air quality. These parameters are critical for regulatory compliance on Sydney's infrastructure projects. Automatic threshold alerts and exportable compliance reports are standard features of the platform.
LoRaWAN GPS trackers and beacon-based indoor positioning systems track heavy equipment, tools, and materials across multi-hectare construction sites. The ThingsBoard platform provides real-time maps, utilization analytics, and theft-prevention alerts -- essential for managing distributed assets across Sydney's major builds.
ChirpStack is an open-source LoRaWAN network server that manages gateway and device communication. We use it because it provides full control over the network stack, supports AU915 frequency configuration for Australia, and avoids vendor lock-in. Combined with ThingsBoard for device management and Grafana for visualization, it forms a proven, flexible IoT platform.
Our core stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server (AU915), ThingsBoard (Community & Professional Edition) for device management and dashboards, Grafana for real-time visualization, and Node-RED for data flow automation. Custom apps are built with React, Next.js, and React Native. All components are hosted on hardened Linux infrastructure.
Australia mandates the AU915 frequency band (915-928 MHz) for LoRaWAN operations. EU868 is not permitted. All hardware we ship to Sydney is pre-configured for AU915, and our ChirpStack network server instances are set up with the correct AU915 channel plan to ensure regulatory compliance and optimal radio performance.
A standard platform installation is production-ready within a few days. Hardware shipping to Sydney typically takes 5-10 business days. For complex multi-site projects, we create a joint rollout plan with phased deployment milestones.
No. Our managed hosting services are cancellable monthly. We rely on quality and long-term collaboration rather than contract lock-in -- this applies equally to our Australian and European clients.
Yes. We design and develop multi-tenant platforms for multiple locations across the Greater Sydney region -- with location-specific dashboards, role-based access controls, and custom alerting logic. Ideal for enterprises managing port facilities, commercial buildings, and construction sites from a single pane of glass.
