The solutions that facilitate user services
Horanet NFC provides solutions that facilitate interaction between collectivities and citizens. Especially by IoT technologies incorporating SIGFOX ISM, NFC or services in SaaS protocols.
➥ How NFC boxes work
Sigfox-compatible modems are integrated into a NFC box by Horanet (certified partner).
The NFC box orders to the modem to send an index one to several times per day.
The transferred data are received by our base station and sent to the Sigfox backend.
Sigfox servers verified the whole data and send them to our information system.
➥ An innovative research unit
Our research unit works actively on the last IoT technology to offer you :
➥ NFC boxes working with Sigfox Technology
It enables incorporated propositions to your information system, with an autonomy and an economic model which are incommensurables with existing GSM solutions (Global System for Mobile).
It allows a long distance between the object and the receiver. It’s easy for the network to cover large areas. That technology includes also a better penetration than the traditional network.
Moreover, it is possible to reach indoor objects while ensuring high reliability and a low energy consumption. No local equipment installation is required for the NFC boxes to connect to the communication network. The network is always available and ready to use.
All your NFC boxes are connected to the network, allowing you to have at any time the state and position of your boxes. In case of any malfunction, the network administrators will be alarmed by the box and will intervene to restore the connectivity as soon as possible.
