The LoRaWAN World Expo 2022 has proven to be a great success! The event has managed to gather over 1,400 people from all over the world, bringing together enterprises, device makers. System integrators, distributors, developers, solution providers, educational institutions, and much more, making this event the largest LoRaWAN event ever. Allowing visitors from all around the world to come together after two long years of on-line meetings, to finally rejoin and share common interests.

“This event really marked a turning point for LoRaWAN: it is now recognized as a dependable technology for large scale operations by major public and private sector organizations, like Total or US Federal, and 5G is no longer perceived as a threat, but rather a complementary technology. As a result, the ecosystem is thriving, and the number of sensors presented was overwhelming. Actility team felt very proud to be at the core of this ecosystem, both at the technology level, as the official network of the event, mediating all data flows to Microsoft and other Partners, mediating between private, public and satellite networks, and at the business level with thousands of devices transacted through ThingPark Market”

Olivier Hersent, CEO at Actility 

ThingPark Market at the Actility Booth

ThingPark Market had a prime position at this event being present at the Actility booth. ThingPark Market’s section displayed all of the Marketplaces’ devices, allowing visitors to check out all the available solutions and get information on-site on any questions or help they might have needed. The ThingPark Market designated area allowed people to see a small selection of the thousands of devices available for purchase on our online marketplace first-hand.

The booth also had a separate screen dedicated to in-depth live demos, also showcasing ThingPark Market dedicated demos showing how to easily use the marketplace, become a seller and find any type of product your use case might need.
