June 25, 2025 — In a special feature on The Business of LoRaWAN, presented by MeteoScientific, Browan Communications CEO Henry Huang shares how his team is building practical and budget-friendly IoT deployments. From hybrid indoor tracking to hospital applications and scalable infrastructure, the episode explores how LoRaWAN can be deployed smartly—even on a tight budget.

🧠 Episode Highlights:

• Hybrid indoor positioning & asset tracking
  Browan combines LoRaWAN with existing Wi‑Fi access points to enable cost-efficient zone-level positioning—used in environments ranging from hospitals to semiconductor plants and airports..

• IoT solutions tailored for hospitals
  One featured use case: mobile nursing station trackers that integrate with hospital Wi‑Fi and rely on LoRaWAN for backhaul—boosting visibility without major infrastructure upgrades..

• Adaptive precision vs. investment tiers
  Henry outlined accuracy tiers—from ±20 cm to ±50 m—allowing businesses to choose based on their budget and precision needs, maximizing ROI..

• Scalable heat‑map technology
  By deploying additional gateways, Browan feeds richer Wi‑Fi-derived heat maps through LoRaWAN, enabling scaled-up monitoring across larger facilities.

• Multi-standard interoperability
  The episode emphasizes a hybrid approach—leveraging LoRaWAN alongside Wi‑Fi, UWB, Bluetooth and Zigbee—to match varying enterprise use cases and cost structures.

💡 Why It Matters

• Cost-effective IoT scaling: Brands and facilities can enter smart-tracking and indoor positioning without massive CapEx by tapping into existing infrastructure.

• Flexible deployment: Tiered accuracy and gateway-driven expansion let deployments evolve alongside needs.

• Versatile connectivity: Multi-protocol strategies enable richer, more durable systems tailored to specific environments—from hospitals to airports.
