The ALTA^® Long-Range, Low-Power Private Wireless IoT Network Platform Honored as a Disruptive Private Wireless Networking Solution

SALT LAKE CITY—Aug. 5, 2024—Monnit announced today that its ALTA^® Long-Range, Low-Power Private Wireless IoT Network Platform won the 2024 IoT Evolution Private Wireless Network Innovation Award from IoT Evolution World, the leading publication covering IoT technologies. The award honors the most innovative organizations creating disruptive private wireless networking solutions.

"The demand for long-range, multi-frequency wireless IoT data communications is continually rising," said Monnit Founder and CEO Brad Walters. "Without compromising power efficiency and frequency interference immunity, we refine and strengthen our ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network Platform to offer extended data communication and unlock the full transformative potential of IoT applications."

The Expansive Monnit ALTA Long-Range, Low-Power Private Wireless IoT Network Platform

Monnit continues to expand the reach of its ALTA Long-Range, Low-Power Private Wireless IoT Network Platform. Last year, the platform extended the wireless communications of 80+ ALTA Wireless Sensors with ALTA XL^® Wireless IoT and Ethernet Gateways.

This extended wireless communications trend caters to our customers in nearly every industry. They have IoT use cases in vast, complex landscapes such as agriculture, industrial, and smart cities, where seamless, reliable IoT data transmission over long distances, through many walls, and around machinery or other obstacles is crucial.

An Innovative Wireless IoT Platform

At its core, the ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network Platform runs on the Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) for greater signal interference tolerance and a wireless range of one mile at one meter above the ground without obstructions. In industrial and commercial settings, our proprietary wireless platform allows our wireless IoT networks to deliver data from up to 100 ALTA Sensors to an ALTA XL Gateway up to 2,000+ ft (non-line-of-sight) away through 18+ walls.

The platform also features:

• Industry-leading impairment immunity from physical obstructions, external wireless radio frequency systems, and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Seamless, reliable, and efficient deployment in complex, expansive environments
• Security is also built-in with Monnit Encrypt-RF™—a sensor-to-gateway, secure wireless tunnel—featuring Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman 256-bit key exchange and 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

A Monnit Private Wireless IoT Network combines the capabilities of our secure ALTA and ALTA XL IoT Cellular and Ethernet Gateways, ALTA Sensors, and iMonnit^™ Sensor Configuration and Monitoring Software. You can set up a simple wireless IoT network within 15 minutes to monitor critical assets and conditions from nearly anywhere.

Sensors are easy to install on or near what you're monitoring. You don't need programming or IT experience beyond installing the iMonnit app on your smartphone. You can easily configure the sensors in the app and then review and analyze IoT data on a mobile device, laptop, or desktop PC.

Extend Long-Range Wireless IoT Communications

ALTA XL Gateways feature a powerful wireless transceiver with up to 1-watt transmission strength and an amplified receiver that creates agile connectivity for Monnit ALTA Private Wireless IoT Networks. They represent the extended long-range wireless evolution of Monnit's proprietary ALTA Radio platform for flexible connectivity in creating private wireless IoT networks in various commercial, industrial, rugged, and remote environments.

Transmit IoT Data on an Advanced Cellular Engine with Greater Wireless Reach

In addition to the extended wireless range, ALTA XL IoT Gateways feature 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Category M1 (CAT-M1) and NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) 2 (NB2)—4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2. This cellular technology and a powerful transceiver and receiver ensure resilient long-range IoT data communications on the factory floor, in the office, at remote locations, or where IT infrastructure is dedicated to other resources.

ALTA XL IoT Gateways and iMonnit Software collaborate to connect, protect, aggregate, configure, and communicate ALTA Sensor data. A Monnit Global Gateway 5-MB SIM Card works worldwide to connect to the best cellular network for your locations automatically. This makes sensor data accessible virtually anytime, anywhere. If user-defined conditions change, the gateways are instrumental in sending sensor notifications from iMonnit via text, email, or voice calls.

Seamless Ethernet Data Transmission Over a Stronger Wireless Signal

The ALTA XL Ethernet Gateway allows ALTA Wireless Sensors to communicate with iMonnit without needing a PC. Simply provide power and plug the gateway into an open Ethernet port with an Internet connection. It automatically connects with our online servers, providing the perfect solution for Internet-enabled commercial locations.

It's an advanced gateway that fuels fast, reliable IoT data solutions. Specifically designed to respond to the increasing market need for global technology, the ALTA XL Ethernet Gateway easily accommodates various vertical and remote wireless IoT applications.

Strong Security is Built-In

Monnit Encrypt-RF enforces security protocols that allow the ALTA XL Gateways to:

• Not run on an off-the-shelf, multi-function operating system
• Operate on a purpose-specific, real-time, embedded state machine
• Prevent hackers from running malicious processes
• Stop hackers from using active interface listeners to gain access to the gateways over a network
• Protect your data from attackers and not be a relay for malicious programs

Easily Manage Private Wireless IoT Networks

Monnit ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network owners manage their network locations through iMonnit. We offer multiple versions of iMonnit for the cloud, mobile, on-premises, and standalone enterprise PC—so you can monitor how, when, and where you want.

With four iMonnit versions, you have multiple ways to access network data. Customers can start using the iMonnit Basic SaaS Software. For more robust monitoring, sensor configuration, data analysis, and network management, we provide iMonnit Premiere, Enterprise, and Express.

Monnit ALTA Private Wireless IoT Networks can help any organization reap the transformative value of IoT data.
