Who we are

Sensing is an electronic engineering and software consultancy firm. We specialise in the planning, design and implementation of sensor networks. These sensor networks have a huge potential in modern industries like agriculture and smart metering.

Our speciality lies in the communication behind connecting sensors to the cloud, as well as how the data is stored and processed on the cloud. The communication technologies we use are LPWANs like LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT and LTE CAT-M1, but can also assist in broadband networks using LTE, fiber and satellite back haul.

Choosing which communication technology to use in your product, or in your industry, is a difficult task. We can assist you in this by investigating your needs and limiting factors, and weigh this up against cost and energy consumption. From experience deploying and running many systems, we have learned which technology works best in which situation.

When collecting data from thousands or millions of devices in realtime, the processing and storing of data needs proper consideration. Our solutions are tried and trusted, but still uses the state-of-the-art tools and best practices, and makes use of the hosting provider of your choice. We do not believe in being vendor locked with your software stack, as you should be able to move it to a new provider whenever the need arise.
