Imagine a network that works entirely on its own. No internet. No dependence on external services. That’s exactly what IQRF® local autonomy enables — full control, lower costs, and stronger security.
Data stays where it originates. External attack risks drop dramatically. And when needed, the system can securely connect through an IoT gateway. From power plants and factory halls to remote islands, IQRF® ensures the network keeps running — even when everything else fails.
What “Local Autonomy” Means
- Independent operation: The IQRF® network doesn’t need a permanent internet connection.
- Full control: Logic, configuration, and data stay with the operator.
- Optional connectivity: When needed, an IoT gateway connects the local network to the outside world — and can be turned off just as easily.
3 Key Benefits
- Cost savings – no monthly cloud fees, predictable expenses, full control.
- Security – reduced exposure to cyberattacks since the network is not constantly online.
- Resilience – the system continues to operate even during connectivity outages.
Where It Makes the Biggest Difference
- Critical infrastructure – e.g. turbine control in power plants, security-critical systems.
- Industry 4.0 – automotive and factory operations, torque wrench data collection, environmental control.
- Remote sites – monitoring on islands or isolated facilities without stable internet.
- Buildings & cities – lighting, HVAC, emergency lighting, and various sensor networks, all local and secure.
How It Works
- Local control – rules and automation run inside the network, not in the cloud.
- On-demand IoT gateway – for updates, data export, or remote access when required.
- Interoperability – IQRF® certified devices speak the same language, allowing easy integration of sensors, thermostats, and lights from different vendors.
Why It Matters
A locally autonomous network is independent, secure, and reliable, giving operators full control over critical systems — while still allowing secure integration with external services when needed.
