Why Realin?
Agile development with focus on product
The implementation of a new service or software product can start from an idea or a concept. Thus, the scope of product development varies from the visual branding of an existing core application to completely new functionality and web applications.
The development is done with the focus on the final product. Before coding, we plan the business cases, product functionality, and visual designs together with our customer. We always invest in usability and user experience.
We operate with agile development that avoids freezing the design too early or unnecessary over specifying. The project progresses iteratively. We provide a test versions as soon as possible for evaluation, feedback, and trials. We take use of our IoT platform and cure software to streamline the product development. The life cycle of the product is managed with changes, extensions and continuous maintenance.

LoRa low-power radio technology
We have years of experience in utilising LoRa technology in a variety of applications.
LoRa is a global and important part of IoT technologies, which enables reliable data transfer and years of operation even with battery-powered wireless sensors and actuators. The amount of data transferred is small, which suits sensor applications. Due to an efficient radio technology, the transmission distance of the wireless device can range from several hundred meters to tens of kilometers, while the battery can last for years. Data transmission is always encrypted and bidirectional, thus sending downlink control commands to the device is also possible.
As LoRa utilises a license-free frquency band, anyone can set up a private LoRa network or alternatively use a public service provider. In Finland, Digita Oy offers a public nationwide LoRa service.
The product range of LoRa devices is wide and constantly growing. LoRa measurements can be supplemented with other data sources. In addition to the sensors, the LoRa transmitter may include, for example, a pulse counter or a Modbus interface with which existing system data can be transmitted wirelessly.
The keywords are lora-alliance.org, LoRaWAN, AES, 868 MHz, Modbus, M-BUS.
