IoT Service Provider & Solutions.
In Bonn.

From LoRaWAN network planning to hardware selection and managed IoT hosting – your IoT service provider for Germany's federal city Bonn. From telecom infrastructure to government building monitoring. GDPR-compliant, personal, on-site.

IoT Solutions for Bonn's Telecommunications, Government & Research Hub

Bonn is Germany's telecommunications capital – home to Deutsche Telekom and Deutsche Post DHL Group headquarters. Add to that numerous federal agencies, the UN Campus, and the University of Bonn with its research institutions. This concentration of telecommunications, logistics, public administration, and science creates unique requirements for connected infrastructure. We operate the IoT platforms that enable this connectivity – reliably, scalably, and GDPR-compliantly hosted.

FAQ about IoT in Bonn

Answers about our IoT services, LoRaWAN network deployment, platform development, and project process in Bonn.

Themen

Services & Process

We cover the entire process: requirements analysis, conception, platform architecture design, hardware selection, on-site LoRaWAN network deployment, platform development (web apps, mobile apps, dashboards), and ongoing managed operations. From Telekom Campus infrastructure to government building monitoring – everything from a single source.

We start with an initial consultation and requirements analysis. This is followed by architecture design, hardware selection, radio coverage analysis, gateway installation, platform development, app development, and go-live. Afterwards, we operate and monitor the entire infrastructure.

Yes. We advise on IoT architecture, platform selection, network planning, and hardware evaluation – even without subsequent implementation by us. Federal agencies and research institutions in Bonn frequently use this option for their procurement preparation.

LoRaWAN & Hardware

We primarily work with Milesight gateways and sensors – proven, CE-certified, and with excellent value for money. Depending on requirements, we also integrate other LoRaWAN hardware or sensors with MQTT, HTTP, or Modbus interfaces.

Yes. We create a radio coverage analysis upfront and plan the gateway positioning for the specific site – including consideration of buildings, underground parking, and indoor areas. Especially on sprawling campus grounds in Bonn, careful network planning is essential.

Yes. We deliver all sensors and gateways with pre-set network parameters, payload decoders, and firmware updates. The devices are ready to use immediately and tuned to your platform.

Platform & Development

Yes. Beyond standard dashboards with Grafana and ThingsBoard, we develop custom web apps and mobile apps for specific use cases – such as building management portals for government agencies, infrastructure monitoring cockpits, or facility management apps.

Our core stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server, ThingsBoard (Community & Professional Edition) for device management, Grafana for visualization, and Node-RED for data flow automation. Custom apps are built with React, Next.js, and React Native.

Yes. Via REST APIs, MQTT, webhooks, and OPC-UA, we integrate IoT data into existing CAFM, BIM, ERP, and building management systems. Interface development is part of our standard service scope.

Hosting & Security

On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Our platforms are hardened according to BSI IT-Grundschutz recommendations – particularly relevant for federal agencies and international organizations in Bonn. Alternatively, we set up the platform on-premise in your Bonn data center.

We offer SLA tiers with availability guarantees up to 99.9%. Redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring ensure continuous operation – including for critical government infrastructure.

Yes. We install and harden IoT platforms directly in your Bonn server room – including VPN connectivity for remote maintenance and proactive monitoring. For agencies with special security requirements, we also offer air-gapped installations.

Getting Started & Terms

A standard installation is production-ready within a few days. For complex projects with custom development, BSI coordination, and multiple locations, we create a joint rollout plan.

No. Our managed hosting services are cancellable monthly. We rely on quality and long-term collaboration rather than contract lock-in.

Yes. We design and develop multi-tenant platforms for multiple locations in Bonn and beyond – from the Telekom Campus to the Bundesviertel to the UN Campus. With location-specific dashboards, access controls, and custom alerting logic.
