Free planning tools
Plan your IoT deployment before you buy it
Engineering calculators built on the numbers we measure in the field, not on textbook models. No sign-up, no email, nothing to install.

IoT Technology Selector
Tell it your device count, site, reporting interval and power, and it says whether to build on LoRaWAN, MacTalk, Wi-Fi, cellular or NB-IoT — with the physical reasons each option fits or does not, and a five-year cost curve that shows where subscription fees overtake gateways.
- Which technology
- 5-year cost curve
- Why not the others
- Battery & scale

LoRaWAN Gateway & Coverage Calculator
How many gateways a site needs, how far the radio really reaches, and whether the traffic fits inside the duty cycle. Calibrated to our own field tests — 8 km measured in open terrain — rather than to a textbook model that would have promised 95 km.
- Gateway count
- Realistic range
- RSSI & SNR
- Duty cycle
- MacTalk range

LoRaWAN Battery Life Calculator
How many years a sensor lasts on one cell, what is actually draining it, and how often you can afford to transmit. Checked against our own published device specifications, so it reproduces the ten-year figure on the datasheets.
- Years of life
- Charge per uplink
- What's draining it
- Interval for a target

LoRaWAN Antenna Height Planner
How high the gateway and the device need to be, drawn as a real path profile with the Fresnel zone and the curve of the earth. Height is the one lever that genuinely moves range — and it is usually the sensor near the ground, not the mast, that is costing you the distance.
- Mast height needed
- Fresnel clearance
- Radio horizon
- Gateway vs device

Wi-Fi Battery Life Calculator
How long a battery-powered Wi-Fi sensor lasts, and where each message's charge actually goes. Over Wi-Fi the data is free and the connection is expensive — joining the network and negotiating TLS can be the difference between three years and ten on the same hardware.
- Years of life
- Cost per message
- Connection tuning
- Wi-Fi vs LoRaWAN

Wi-Fi Network Planner
How many access points a building needs, and how many battery sensors one of them can really carry. Indoor range is decided by walls rather than metres, and sensor capacity by how many devices are mid-connection at once — not by bandwidth.
- Access points needed
- Range through walls
- Sensors per AP
- 2.4 vs 5 GHz

BLE range and battery, solar sizing and a payload decoder are next. If there is a calculation you keep doing by hand before a deployment, tell us and we will build it.
