Industrial connectivity

Connect: the network that reaches where cell signal can't.

An industrial gateway with embedded AI and a private LoRaWAN network. Data moves between workers in the field and the platform over your company's own infrastructure.

What is Connect?

Connect is PHYGITALL's industrial gateway, with embedded AI and multi-technology connectivity. It forms the private LoRaWAN network that links the Smartbadge and the plant's sensors to the platform, covering kilometers with low power consumption, even where cell signal doesn't reach.

Private network

Why PHYGITALL built its own network.

Building every layer in-house, from hardware to network, is what ensures end-to-end operational visibility. With Connect, connectivity stops being a constraint at the plant and becomes part of the solution.

  • Covers cellular dead zones

    Industrial plants have areas with no cell coverage. PHYGITALL's LoRaWAN network reaches those spots and keeps people in the field connected across the entire operation.

  • Kilometers of range on low power

    LoRaWAN was designed for long distances: it covers plants that stretch for kilometers while devices in the field use very little power.

  • Data on your own infrastructure

    Data travels over your company's own infrastructure. Brazil's largest industrial companies require this for information security and risk management.

What's included

Three layers, one solution.

Connect brings together the hardware, the coverage, and the integration that carry data from the field to the point of decision.

Gateway with embedded AI

A multi-technology industrial gateway that receives signals from devices in the field and applies artificial intelligence to the data before it even reaches the platform.

Antennas and coverage

Antennas planned at the design stage for each plant's real-world conditions, providing coverage across the entire operation, from hazardous (classified) areas to open yards.

Platform integration

Everything that travels over the network reaches the PHYGITALL platform and becomes real-time alerts, auditable evidence, and the operational visibility to decide right away.

Proven in the field

Engineering tested where the bar is highest.

Brazilian Navy

Together with the Navy, PHYGITALL built Brazil's first Internet of Things network, tracking vessels in Guanabara Bay with long-range, two-way telemetry.

Frequently asked questions about Connect

How far does a LoRaWAN network reach in an industrial plant?

LoRaWAN technology was created for long distances and covers kilometers with low power consumption. Actual range depends on the terrain, the structures, and the types of areas in each plant. That's why PHYGITALL plans coverage at the design stage, positioning the gateway and antennas to reach the entire operation.

Does the network depend on internet service from cellular carriers?

No. The LoRaWAN network is your company's own, and it works even in areas with no cell coverage. Data travels over your operation's own infrastructure, which also meets information security and risk management requirements.

How many devices can the network support?

The LoRaWAN architecture was built to handle large numbers of low-power devices. In practice, the same network scales from a pilot project to operations with thousands of connected workers, and coverage grows with additional gateways and antennas as the plant expands.

How does Connect talk to the systems you already use?

The data carried over the network goes to the PHYGITALL platform, which integrates with your company's digital processes. Our engineering team reviews your setup with your IT team so that alerts, location data, and auditable evidence show up where your operation already works.
