According to Olivier Hersent, President and CTO of Actility, “We are delighted to welcome a new partner like RFI Engineering, with over a decade of experience in manufacturing wireless outdoor equipment. RFI base stations are supervised directly through the ThingPark OSS back office. This allows for customers to benefit from a fully integrated experience. The integrated solution is available for private and public networks.’

Ivo van Ling, CEO and CTO of RFI Engineering, says: ‘The design, VLAN & VPN support, external RS-485 interface, total cost of ownership, and the availability of the smart client localization support of the new carrier-grade LoRa® base station creates a whole range of new opportunities for operators.’
