As buildings grow smarter, the demand for reliable, efficient, and low-maintenance monitoring systems has never been greater. One of the technologies leading this transformation is LoRaWAN (Low Power, Wide Area Networking). Designed for the Internet of Things (IoT), LoRaWAN allows devices to communicate over long distances with minimal power, making them an ideal solution for large buildings and multi-unit properties.
That’s where ProSentry comes in. Using LoRaWAN-powered sensors, ProSentry delivers a seamless, scalable solution that provides real-time gas and water leak detection, temperature and humidity monitoring, and several other building monitoring capabilities, all from a single, easy-to-manage platform. This wireless technology supports proactive safety, streamlines compliance, and helps avoid the costly consequences of delayed response.
LoRaWAN devices are designed to transmit small packets of data across long distances with minimal power usage. The network operates within radio frequency bands, allowing it to communicate without requiring expensive, complex infrastructure or relying on Wi-Fi networks.
In the case of ProSentry, each sensor detects specific events like gas leaks or water intrusion. This information is securely transmitted to ProSentry’s cloud-based Platform, where it is displayed on a centralized dashboard or mobile app. Users receive real-time alerts through SMS, email, or push notification, allowing building staff or managers to respond quickly.
While both LoRaWAN and Wi-Fi networks are used for building monitoring, their capabilities and reliability differ significantly. Here’s a side-by-side comparison highlighting why LoRaWAN networks are better suited for scalable, long-term solutions like ProSentry’s smart safety systems:
ProSentry’s LoRaWAN-powered sensors are designed to solve real, high-stakes problems for property managers, building owners, and developers, especially in dense urban environments like New York City.
With the upcoming May 1, 2025, deadline for Local Law 157, New York City requires installing gas leak detection systems in multiple dwelling buildings. ProSentry’s LoRaWAN-powered gas sensors provide a code-compliant, cost-effective solution.
ProSentry uses point-of-leak water sensors placed near high-risk areas. When a leak is detected, the system immediately notifies the building’s management team, ensuring no alert is missed. This rapid response helps prevent structural damage, tenant disruption, and insurance claims.
ProSentry’s LoRaWAN sensor ecosystem extends far beyond leak detection, offering a comprehensive suite of monitoring solutions tailored to the real-world needs of multi-unit and commercial buildings. From boiler temperature to smoking detection, ProSentry empowers building teams to monitor critical systems across the property.
LoRaWAN-powered sensors are more than just a technology upgrade – they’re the foundation of smart, proactive building safety. The network’s long-range, low-power capabilities make them ideal for monitoring essential risks like gas leaks and water intrusion across entire properties without the infrastructure headaches of Wi-Fi-dependent systems.
With ProSentry’s advanced monitoring platform, you get real-time alerts, seamless compliance support, and centralized visibility into your building’s safety, all from a single, easy-to-use dashboard.
If you’re looking to future-proof your property, reduce operational risk, and stay ahead of evolving safety regulations like Local Law 157, LoRaWAN sensors offer a scalable, low-maintenance solution built to last.
