Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
Regional requirements, robust technology
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 and remote access platforms from Germany -- proven in Australia through AB-View for ABCO Water Systems. All systems operate on the AU915 frequency band, configured and managed by WZ-IT.
Sensors, gateways, data platform, business application, identities, interfaces, and operations are planned together. Additional sites, cloud services, or local edge systems can then build on the same architecture model.
Remote delivery with a dedicated technical contact, structured project communication, and coordinated commissioning.
Automated 24/7 monitoring with alerts. Human response times and support coverage follow the selected service level; overnight P1 response is included with Production and Critical.
No ticket system, no call center. Your direct line to the engineer managing your IoT instance for Sydney -- with structured communication across time zones.
Concrete services
You can start with one clearly defined requirement. Architecture, devices, platform, applications, and operations are planned so the first component can become part of one coherent IoT system when needed.

The examples illustrate possible application patterns. Architecture, radio coverage, device selection, data model, and operating scope are assessed for the specific project.
One system instead of isolated silos
Value does not come from a single sensor or dashboard. What matters is an end-to-end data path with clear interfaces, access rules, and operating responsibilities.
Sensors, gateways, machines, PLCs, and existing data sources are selected or connected according to the measurement task, environment, and protocol.
View componentLoRaWAN, MQTT, cellular links, edge gateways, and private networks move data between sites, platforms, and other systems in a controlled way.
View componentChirpStack, ThingsBoard, Grafana, databases, and rule engines provide device management, processing, history, and alerting.
View componentDashboards, portals, mobile apps, and ERP, MES, and API integrations put IoT data into the actual workflows.
View componentMonitoring, backups, updates, incident response, and service levels keep the platform and data paths maintainable and transparent.
View componentThe architecture can grow with more devices, sites, applications, and deployment locations without introducing isolated connections or hard-to-maintain special paths for every extension.
Technical foundation
We rely on a proven open-source stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server (configured for AU915), ThingsBoard for device management and dashboards, Grafana for real-time visualization, and Node-RED for data routing. All hosted on hardened Linux servers with automatic backups and security updates. Proven in Australia through AB-View, the production remote access platform for ABCO Water Systems.

Deployment models

We rely on Milesight and know the product portfolio inside out - from environmental sensors to LoRaWAN gateways to industrial controllers. We advise, source and integrate the right hardware for your use case.
Milesight hardware ships worldwide - we deliver pre-configured and firmware-updated, ready to deploy.
We also work with hardware from other manufacturers - whether proprietary or open-source. What matters is that it works reliably and integrates into our stack.
Project path
The initial step remains manageable. Device count, architecture, integrations, and operating responsibilities are defined only after the technical assessment.
Capture measurements, sites, users, existing systems, alert paths, and the expected business outcome.
Combine radio path, devices, platform, data model, interfaces, and security requirements in a testable design.
Provision devices, configure services, process data, and connect dashboards or business applications.
Agree monitoring, updates, backups, and response paths, then add further sites or capabilities in a controlled way.
Region and scale
A regional entry point does not limit the architecture. Platforms can cover multiple plants, properties, fields, or customer sites under one operating model.
We plan and operate IoT platforms for companies and organizations across the region and beyond.
Industries
The technical foundation can be adapted to different measurement tasks and business processes.
Specialist services
Dedicated service pages explain platforms, development, LoRaWAN, and visualization in detail.
Enquiry
Briefly describe the measurement task, sites, existing devices, and desired outcome. We will assess architecture, platform, integration, and possible operations.

We support the IoT initiative from requirements analysis through architecture, hardware selection, platform setup, and sensor integration to custom dashboards and managed operations. WZ-IT prepares gateways and sensors
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; human response times follow the selected service level.
We select and integrate 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.
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 architectures with portable gateways and battery-powered sensors, preconfigure the devices, and connect them to a central ThingsBoard platform. WZ-IT supports commissioning remotely.
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.
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.
The timeline depends on the platform, device count, radio planning, data paths, integrations, and operating model. After the technical assessment, you receive a rollout plan with prerequisites, dependencies, and milestones.
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.
