ThingPark All-in-One (TAO): The Future of Private LoRaWAN Connectivity

In the rapidly evolving world of the Internet of Things (IoT), organisations are constantly seeking ways to bridge the gap between innovative wireless technology and established infrastructure. Enter the ThingPark All-in-One (TAO) solution, a powerhouse for private LoRaWAN connectivity, designed to streamline digital transformation while maximising efficiency.

Whether you are managing a smart campus, an industrial facility, or a commercial office, the TAO solution offers a unique blend of edge-processing power and seamless integration.

What is ThingPark All-in-One (TAO)?

The TAO solution leverages Actility’s world-class ThingPark Enterprise platform, the most advanced and reliable LoRaWAN connectivity platform trusted by global brands. It is specifically dedicated to serving private networks, wirelessly connecting sensors to applications for an endless variety of use cases.

By utilising the TAO model, you gain a self-hosted, "on-premises" deployment that places the power of a carrier-grade network server directly in your local environment.

Why Choose the TAO Solution?

The TAO solution stands out by offering a localised, high-performance alternative to traditional cloud-only deployments. Here is why it is the premier choice for modern enterprises:

• Rapid Deployment: Get your local network up and running in just minutes.
• Edge Processing: Data is processed locally, ensuring low latency and enhanced security for sensitive projects.
• Cost-Effective: No recurring cloud LNS fees for your base setup, making it ideal for small-to-medium deployments.
• User-Friendly Interface: Manage your devices and data effortlessly through the intuitive ThingPark interface.
• Hardware Independence: You aren't locked into a specific vendor, as TAO offers an agnostic solution, supporting your preferred IoT brands. It works with leading gateway brands and any LoRaWAN compatible end-device.
• Futureproof: (The ThingsPark All-in-One (TAO) Solution is inherently futureproof, thanks to its adherence to open standards (BACnet/Modbus) and a seamless migration path. By translating LoRaWAN® sensor data into standard BACnet objects, TAO makes your network BMS-agnostic, providing the flexibility to update or replace all your BMS controllers at once, or individually, without impacting the sensor network.

Bridging the Gap: Direct Integration with Existing BMS

One of the most significant hurdles in digital transformation is dealing with legacy systems. The TAO solution solves this by offering direct integration with existing Building Management Systems (BMS).

TAO works alongside your current infrastructure, including BACnet and Modbus protocols. This makes it incredibly simple to integrate LoRaWAN into existing, legacy systems without a "rip-and-replace" overhaul. You can now monitor environments via LoRaWAN and see that data reflected directly within your established BMS environment.

Advanced Features for Professional Networks

By choosing a solution built on ThingPark Enterprise, you also gain access to a suite of professional-grade tools:

• The ThingPark Device Library: Benefit from the world’s largest device codec library for easy payload decoding, allowing you to use a diverse range of sensors without being tied to a single brand.
• Reliability & Security: Enjoy features like frame buffering on gateways to prevent data loss during backhaul outages and end-to-end cryptographic security trusted by tier-1 operators.
• Optimised Performance: Utilise 3rd generation ADR (Adaptive Data Rate) to optimise battery consumption for your sensors, ensuring your network stays live for years.
