PLATFORM OVERVIEW
With the development of the times, new technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data analysis have hit all enterprises with an irresistible trend.
The Internet of Things (IOT) refers to various devices and technologies that use various information sensors, radio frequency identification technologies, global positioning systems, infrared sensors, laser scanners, etc. to collect any real-time monitoring, connection, and interaction. Objects or processes, collect all kinds of required information such as sound, light, heat, electricity, mechanics, chemistry, biology, location, etc., and access through various possible networks to realize the ubiquitous connection of objects and objects, objects and people , To achieve intelligent perception, identification and management of items and processes. The Internet of Things is an information carrier based on the Internet and traditional telecommunications networks. It allows all common physical objects that can be independently addressed to form an interconnected network.
In the Internet of Things system, the development of corresponding software based on hardware is a key part of the Internet of Things application. Hardware without a software platform is as useless as a car without oil. Different solutions require not only high-quality hardware but also customized software according to the actual application.
Our company (Shenzhen Kingbird Network Technology CO.,LTD.) not only has been cultivating in hardware for many years, but the development of supporting IoT platform software is also fruitful. We have been officially recognized as a national high-tech enterprise for six consecutive years and have more than forty patents and software copyrights related to the Internet of Things. With the self-developed 4G, WIFI, Lora, NBIOT and other products, we can not only customize the terminal transmission software, but also develop mobile monitoring software, server-side transceiver storage software, and PC-side control analysis software according to customer actual needs. You can get a one-stop service from us to form a platform from hardware to software, without the need to waste a lot of manpower and time costs for the development of the Internet of Things platform.
An IoT platform consists of a lot of hardware and software. Click below for more detailed software information.

d. According to different needs, customized development can be carried out.
e. Through the server, you can ensure that the device is always under monitoring.
f. The operating system is open, there is no need to worry about copyright issues, but the operator needs to master certain Linux use knowledge.
IoT hardware terminal
-
4G(GPRS) DTU
DTU (Data Transfer unit) is a wireless terminal device specially used to convert serial port data to IP data or convert IP data to serial port data for transmission via wireless communication network.
DTU advantages:
Quick and flexible networking, short construction period and low cost;
Wide network coverage;
Good security performance;
The link supports always-on, billing by flow rate, and low user usage cost;
-
Lora DTU
LoRa is a wireless standard for low-power local area networks created by Semtech. Low power consumption is generally difficult to cover long distances. Generally, long-distance power consumption is high. It seems difficult to run if the horse does not eat grass. The name of LoRa is Long Range Radio. Its biggest feature is that it spreads farther than other wireless methods under the same power consumption conditions. It realizes the low power consumption and long-distance unity. It consumes 3-5 times longer distance than traditional wireless radio frequency communication.
Transmission distance: up to 2-5 Km in towns and 15 Km in suburbs.
Working frequency: ISM frequency band includes 433, 868, 915 MH, etc.
Standard: IEEE 802.15.4g.
Modulation method: Based on spread spectrum technology, a variant of linear modulation spread spectrum (CSS), with forward error correction (FEC) capability, semtech's proprietary patented technology.
Capacity: A LoRa gateway can connect thousands of LoRa nodes.
Battery life: up to 10 years.
Security: AES128 encryption.
Transmission rate: Hundreds to tens of Kbps, the lower the rate, the longer the transmission distance. This is much like a person picking things. If they pick more, they will not go too far.
