Upgrade, enhancement, and maintenance of the IoTIB LoRaWAN network
IoT Infrastructure Transformation – Toward Smarter, Scalable, and Resilient Public LoRaWAN Networks
The project
Agència Balear de Digitalització, Ciberseguretat i Telecomunicacions (IB Digital)
As part of the Balearic Government’s commitment to the continuous improvement of its public communications infrastructure, a comprehensive upgrade and functional enhancement of the IoTIB LoRaWAN network, managed by IB Digital, has been carried out.
This network is the technological foundation for numerous IoT solutions deployed across the Balearic Islands, ranging from environmental sensors to smart mobility platforms.
The project involved a complete redesign of the LoRaWAN backend and the development of a new data management and visualization platform. This intervention has enabled a deep technical understanding of IoTIB's architecture and operations, positioning us for future sensor integrations without friction or service interruptions.
Main Areas of Action
- Renovation of LoRaWAN infrastructure.
- High availability, redundancy, and service quality.
- Proprietary platform for device management and data visualization.
- Massive and automated integration of sensors.
- Ongoing network support and maintenance.
Technical Development and Applied Innovation
The project resulted in a major transformation of the IoTIB network’s technical ecosystem, through:
- Replacement of the LoRaWAN backend with a modern, scalable architecture designed to handle high data traffic volumes.
- Implementation of high-availability systems, SLA controls, and 24/7 monitoring.
- Design and development of a new platform from scratch for real-time IoT data management and visualization.
- Mass integration of thousands of sensors of various types into a unified system.
- Full automation of device provisioning, improving operational efficiency.
Establishment of a comprehensive technical support and maintenance service (both corrective and preventive)
Objectives
- Modernize the public LoRaWAN communications network in the Balearic Islands.
- Ensure the stability, scalability, and reliability of the IoTIB infrastructure.
- Unify and optimize the management of connected IoT sensors and devices.
- Reduce deployment times through process automation.
- Strengthen the technological infrastructure to support future strategic developments in the region.
