Frequently Asked Questions about LoRaWAN Sensors

Please reach out to us at: sales@iox-connect.com if you have any additional questions that are not addressed below. You can also check out our content library for more information and content on wireless sensors and IoT.

Scalable, Shared Monitoring Across Multiple Locations

With ioX-Connect, monitoring for leaks doesn’t stop at a single device or user. Our platform supports the deployment of hundreds or thousands of sensors across multiple, remote locations—all managed seamlessly within a unified app. This means you can oversee several buildings or sprawling campuses from a single dashboard, while also granting access to additional team members for collaborative facility management.

Easily invite colleagues, maintenance staff, or external vendors to monitor specific sensors or entire locations—empowering your team to take collective, immediate action when every second counts. Whether you’re overseeing a compact facility or coordinating a nationwide portfolio, ioX-Connect ensures everyone stays informed, connected, and ready to respond.

LoRaWAN is fundamentally better for this application due to three key advantages over Wi-Fi: Range, Power, and Penetration. LoRaWAN can transmit signals over several kilometers, whereas Wi-Fi range is limited to a few dozen meters. This allows a few LoRaWAN gateways to cover an entire campus that would require hundreds of Wi-Fi access points. Second, LoRaWAN sensors can operate for years on a single small battery, while Wi-Fi's higher power consumption would require frequent battery changes or wired power, which is impractical for wide-scale deployment.Finally, LoRaWAN's use of low-frequency bands allows its signal to penetrate dense building materials like concrete and steel far more effectively than Wi-Fi, ensuring reliable communication from basements and utility closets.
Absolutely—our LoRaWAN water leak sensors are designed for repeated use. Once a leak has been detected and the area has been addressed, simply dry off the sensor and reset it to resume monitoring. This ensures you have continuous, long-term protection against future leaks, without the hassle or waste of replacing single-use devices. Durable and dependable, these sensors are ready to safeguard your property again and again.
The choice depends on the area you need to protect. A probe sensor, like our Enterprise model, is designed for pinpoint detection in a specific, high-risk location. It's ideal for placing in drip pans, under a specific pipe joint, or near an HVAC unit. A rope sensor, like our Industrial model, uses a conductive cable that can be laid out over a large area. It detects a leak anywhere along its length, making it perfect for protecting the perimeter of a room, an entire server room sub-floor, or long stretches of piping.
Our sensors are designed for long-term, low-maintenance operation. The LoRaWAN Enterprise Water Leak Sensor, powered by two standard AAA batteries, can achieve between 24,000 and 70,000 data transmissions, translating to a typical battery life of 2 to 10 years depending on the reporting configuration. The LoRaWAN Industrial Water Leak Rope Sensor uses a high-capacity Li-SOCl₂ battery designed for up to five years of operation.
Both our Enterprise and Industrial water leak sensors are housed in IP65-rated enclosures. This rating signifies that they are protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes them suitable for use in demanding indoor environments like boiler rooms or basements, as well as in sheltered outdoor locations where they are not exposed to direct, heavy rainfall or submersion.
CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) integration is the ability of our platform to communicate directly with your facility management software. This matters because it automates your emergency response. Instead of just sending an email alert that a person might miss, our system can automatically create a work order in your CMMS the instant a leak is detected. This ensures that every critical event triggers an immediate, trackable, and auditable maintenance workflow, minimizing damage by eliminating human delay.
To create a complete leak detection solution, you will need three components: 1) The ioX-Connect LoRaWAN sensors (probe or rope), 2) at least one LoRaWAN Gateway to receive the data from the sensors and forward it to the cloud, and 3) a subscription to the ioX-Connect IoT Platform, which is where you will configure your devices, set up alerts, view analytics, and manage CMMS integration. Our team can help you design a complete solution tailored to your facility's specific needs.
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a low-power, long-range wireless protocol designed for IoT applications. It operates in sub-GHz bands to provide kilometers of coverage on a single battery charge, unlike Wi-Fi or Bluetooth which trade range for higher data rates. Check out our What is LoRaWAN Guide.
In ideal rural environments, LoRaWAN sensors can reliably transmit data up to 10 km from the gateway. In urban or obstructed areas, you can expect several kilometers of range—enough to cover entire campuses or multi-building sites.
LoRaWAN uses AES-128 encryption at both the network (NwkSKey) and application (AppSKey) layers. Combined with ioX-Connect’s role-based access controls, this ensures end-to-end protection and prevents unauthorized data access.
Yes. LoRaWAN is an open standard, so you can deploy most LoRaWAN gateways and devices alongside other ioX-Connect certified sensors—our platform ensures seamless, zero-touch integration regardless of the vendor. Alternatively ioX-Connect offers our own range of affordable LoRaWAN Gateways and Devices. Please reach out to us at: sales@iox-connect.com to find out if the LoRaWAN devices you are considering is certified for use in our platform.
LoRaWAN excels in scenarios requiring wide-area coverage and infrequent small data packets, such as environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, air quality), predictive maintenance (vibration, pressure), and asset tracking in agriculture, smart buildings, and industrial settings.
A single gateway can handle hundreds to thousands of sensors, depending on reporting intervals and network traffic. This star-of-stars architecture scales easily as you add endpoints. Reach out to our sales team at: sales@iox-connect.com if you need specifics or check out our range of LoRaWAN Gateways.
No—LoRaWAN’s robust modulation penetrates walls and obstructions. While line-of-sight can maximize range, most indoor and urban deployments work reliably without it.
Simply use OTAA (Over-The-Air Activation) to join devices to the network by provisioning your ioX Certified LoRaWAN gateway in the platform. ioX-Connect auto-discovers your sensors, applies network keys, and pushes firmware updates—no manual configuration or coding required.
You need at least one LoRaWAN gateway connected to the internet (Ethernet, Cellular or Wi-Fi) and the ioX-Connect platform. From there, you can expand coverage with additional gateways, all managed centrally through our platform.
