Fill the Gaps: Connecting the Unconnected
The core mission of the Internet of Things is to connect the unconnected. Yet across industrial, municipal, and infrastructure environments, a large percentage of critical operational data remains trapped by devices that were never designed to communicate with a network. These gaps limit device visibility, slow response times, and weaken a company’s digital transformation initiatives. VoBo is the solution for connecting the unconnected because it directly addresses and solves the real-world […]
Why System Integrators Choose VoBo for LoRaWAN Projects
System integrators don’t just need hardware that works — they need hardware that installs quickly, scales cleanly, and doesn’t become a liability after deployment. That’s exactly why integrators across industrial markets choose VoBo Endpoints for their LoRaWAN® solutions. VoBo devices are purpose-built to simplify deployment, reduce integration friction, and perform reliably in demanding environments — […]
Why “Sensor-Agnostic” Matters More Than Ever in IoT
Flexibility is crucial in the evolving landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT). The ability to connect, monitor, analyze, and act on data from a wide variety of sensors is what drives innovation for industries. Unfortunately, many IoT systems are locked into proprietary ecosystems. This limits their adaptability and increases long-term costs. This is why the VoBo sensor-agnostic solution is important. By supporting sensors from any manufacturer and type, whether they […]
VoBo: Smarter Industrial Monitoring at the Edge
In the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), many devices gather and transmit data from the field to centralized systems. This works well for basic monitoring, but it also creates a flood of raw information that must be sorted and analyzed at the server or users’ stations. This can lead to inefficiencies, bandwidth congestion, lost data, and higher network costs. The VoBo goes far beyond simple monitoring. It’s not just a bridge between wired sensors […]
Low-Cost Data Collection: VoBo Makes Industrial Data Simple and Affordable
In the industrial world, data is the foundation of decision-making. It helps you see what’s happening, understand trends, and take action. The challenge is that data collection can be complicated and expensive. These problems grow as the business expands. That’s why the VoBo was created. It’s an intelligent LoRaWAN® endpoint that was designed to make […]
Understanding the Power Budget of Battery-Powered VoBos
The power budget is one of the most critical steps when designing a battery-powered VoBo monitoring system. Every sensor and connection draws energy from a limited source. Exceeding that power budget can cause unreliable operation and shorten the battery life. This guide explains how to calculate power requirements, estimate battery life, and plan your setup accordingly. The current battery-powered products are the VoBo GP-1/ HL-1 and Vobo TC. 1. Power Consumption Factors for a VoBo VoBos are industrial, […]
Manage Modbus® 32-Bit Numbers with VoBo
Modbus® is one of the most widely used industrial communication protocols for sensors, meters, and controllers. At its core, Modbus® works with 16-bit registers. But many real-world industrial values, such as flow rates, energy consumption, and pressures, cannot be represented in just 16 bits. Instead, many devices commonly use 32-bit integers or floating-point numbers. For […]
Using VoBo in Noisy Industrial Environments
LoRaWAN® is popular for enabling low-power, long-range communication between battery-powered devices and centralized gateways. When used with a VoBo in noisy industrial environments, it offers even greater value for connectivity, robustness, and versatility. In plants, refineries, and other electrically dense environments, VoBo bridges the gap between wired sensors and wireless LoRaWAN® networks, offering a reliable […]
Engineering Unit Reporting and VoBo
When deploying LoRaWAN® devices for monitoring and data acquisition, raw sensor measurements aren’t useful until they are converted into a value that has meaning. Operators, analysts, and engineers rely on meaningful, real-world values, such as pressure in PSI, temperature in °C, or tank levels in feet, to make informed decisions. The Volley Boast VoBo makes […]
Reliable IIoT Datalogging with the VoBo
Ensuring data is captured and preserved is essential in industrial and remote monitoring applications. Whether you’re managing off-grid weather stations, monitoring mining infrastructure, or overseeing agricultural irrigation systems, there are times when communication isn’t possible. This is where the Volley Boast VoBo excels, not just as a LoRaWAN® endpoint, but as a resilient, standalone data […]
VoBoSync – Timing is Everything
VoBoSync is a synchronization technology that enables the precise coordination of sensor measurements and uplink transmissions for a group of VoBos on a LoRaWAN® network. When used on a group of VoBos measuring properties in a system, synchronizing the data collection timing improves the significance of the data and the insights gained, unlocking more value […]
