Your assets already talk. We help you listen.
We advise operators of fleets, farms, buildings, remote sites, solar plants and charging depots on which radio, which device, and what to read first. We also built HOLOIN, which keeps it all as one live record on your servers.
The radio is a decision, not a default. Five questions decide it.
- 01Where is the asset?
- 02Does it move?
- 03How often must it speak?
- 04What powers it?
- 05Who should own the network?
We advise.
Four fixed engagements, from a two-week assessment of what your assets already report to the design of a pilot with its acceptance checks written in advance. Each ends in a document you keep, whether or not anything is installed.Four fixed engagements, from a two-week assessment of what your assets already report to the design of a pilot with its acceptance checks written in advance. Each ends in a document you keep.
We build HOLOIN.
One installed platform that holds vehicles, farms, buildings, remote sites, solar plants and charging depots as one live record, learns each asset's normal with statistics a person can read, and turns a change into a work order for the person responsible. Licensed per installation, counted in devices.

An end-to-end LoRaWAN water-metering system for a town’s water utility. Before Chirp, its founder was the system’s IoT architect: meters in the pits, the gateways, the network server and its device provisioning, the sensor decoders, the head-end, the utility’s own dashboards.Before Chirp, its founder was the system’s IoT architect, from the meters in the pits to the utility’s own dashboards.

2019
ChirpyWAN, Chirp’s own deployment tool for LoRaWAN networks, a finalist in Momenta’s LoRaWAN Startup Challenge. One of five finalists, chosen to pitch in Berlin on 13 June 2019. The application built, tested and validated a LoRaWAN network in the field — a network scan, a built-in sniffer, power-level, data-rate and channel validation, range tests — with coverage surveys, installation and end-to-end testing as the services around it. Each finalist received a year’s Adopter membership of the LoRa Alliance (the Alliance’s letter of 3 June 2019, on file). No source names the winner, so this line stops at finalist.One of five finalists, chosen to pitch in Berlin on 13 June 2019.
