FAQ about IoT in Recklinghausen

Answers about our IoT services in the Vestischer Kreis – from smart city and public transit integration to LoRaWAN network deployment, platform development, and managed operations for municipalities, administration, and industry.

Themen

Municipal IoT & District Administration

We implement IoT solutions for municipal infrastructure: intelligent street lighting, parking management, building automation in district authority buildings, and environmental monitoring. From concept through hardware selection and LoRaWAN network deployment to ongoing managed operations – everything end to end.

Yes. Via standardized interfaces (MQTT, HTTP, REST APIs), IoT data can be integrated into existing public transit systems – for example, passenger counting, bus stop monitoring, or real-time occupancy data. We coordinate platform integration with the respective operators.

Through LoRaWAN sensors for room climate, energy consumption, and heating control in schools, administrative buildings, and cultural venues like the Ruhrfestspielhaus. The hosted platform delivers automatic reports and identifies savings potential.

LoRaWAN & Hardware

We analyze the urban area regarding building density, municipal properties, and coverage requirements. Based on a radio coverage analysis, we strategically position gateways – on administrative buildings, schools, or lamp posts – for optimal coverage.

Primarily Milesight gateways and sensors – CE-certified and suited for outdoor deployment. For specialized applications like water level gauges, air quality, or parking sensors, we also integrate sensors from other manufacturers via MQTT, HTTP, or Modbus.

Yes. All devices are shipped with pre-set network parameters, payload decoders, and current firmware. After mounting in the urban area or on municipal buildings, they are immediately operational.

Platform & Development

Yes. Beyond standard dashboards in Grafana and ThingsBoard, we build custom web apps and mobile apps – for example, citizen portals with environmental data, energy monitoring cockpits, or administrative dashboards for district authorities.

Our stack: ChirpStack as the LoRaWAN network server, ThingsBoard for device management and rule engine, Grafana for real-time dashboards, and Node-RED for data flow automation. Custom apps are built with React, Next.js, and React Native.

Yes. Via ThingsBoard and Node-RED, we integrate LoRaWAN, MQTT, HTTP, and Modbus sources into a unified platform. This allows environmental data, building data, and traffic data to be analyzed together and forwarded to existing administrative systems.

Hosting & Security

On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we install the platform on-premise in the district administration's data center – including VPN connectivity for our remote maintenance.

SLA tiers with availability guarantees up to 99.9%. Redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring ensure uninterrupted operations – even for critical municipal infrastructure like street lighting and environmental monitoring.

Yes. We install and harden the entire IoT stack directly in the district administration's data center or a Recklinghausen-based company's facility. Via a VPN-secured connection, we handle proactive monitoring and remote maintenance without data leaving your network.

Getting Started & Terms

Simple monitoring setups can be operational within a few days. More complex smart city projects with network deployment across the urban area and custom development are planned in phases with clearly defined milestones.

No. Our managed services are cancellable monthly. We rely on strong collaboration and demonstrable results rather than contract lock-in.

Yes. We design multi-tenant platforms for municipalities and companies with multiple sites – whether Recklinghausen, Marl, Herten, or Datteln. Each location gets its own dashboards, access controls, and alerting profiles.
