First LoRaWAN device – 2014-2016

Talkpool launched its first wireless sensor, the OY1100 LoRaWAN Temperature and humidity sensor, on the market. This was the first LoRaWAN end device in the world and was the kick-off for many smart buildings projects to come.
Additionally, Talkpool launched its IoT platform for data handling, visualisation and analytics, as well as its LoRaWAN IoT network in Gothenburg. The network was built in collaboration with Tele2 and is nowadays incorporated in the Nordic IoT Networks. The launch of these products marked the transition of a first R&D phase into an increasingly commercial phase.

To meet the increasing customer demand for IoT connectivity driven by the growing number of IoT projects and sensors deployed, Talkpool launched a new company Nordic IoT Networks (NIoT), together with a group of investors. NIoT will roll out a public LoRa network in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
The network is an enabler for Talkpool’s increasing activities with large companies in the real estate and insurance sectors.

Swedish Smart Cities project – 2017

Talkpool was awarded a smart cities project called LoV-IoT, by the IoT Sweden programme. This project is a collaboration between cities, commercial companies and environmental research institutes, focused around IoT solutions related to air and water quality in urban environments.
In the same year, Talkpool launched its M1 LoRaWAN module, which would enable fast prototyping of new products. Based on this module, the company released a LoRaWAN CO2 meter in collaboration with Senseair, domain expert and market leader for air quality sensing components. With this product the company positioned itself for the air quality trend in the smart buildings area. Additionally, the company released a probe converter that connects traditional industrial probes to the internet, thereby opening up a wide range of use cases in the smart industries segment.

Talkpool moved the production of its IoT sensors to Sweden, close to its IoT headquarters. Additionally, a second generation of the temperature and humidity smart buildings sensor was released. At the core of this sensor are a cryptographic co-processor for ultra secure hardware based key storage and encrypted firmware. Premium features such as an extreme long life battery place it at the top end of the LoRaWAN sensor devices market.
This marks a new era for Talkpool’s products and forms the foundation for what Talkpool is known for in the IoT industry: high quality and high security products and solutions.

 

EU Smart Cities project – 2019

Talkpool was awarded a project in the Horizon 2020 call “Digital solutions for water: linking the physical and digital world for water solutions”. The EU funded project by the name of SCOREwater focuses on cities’ challenges for managing wastewater, storm water and flooding events. The project revolves around the cities of Gothenburg, Amersfoort and Barcelona, spread throughout Europe.
This project further establishes Talkpool as an IoT expert on environmental monitoring and water management. The project runs until 2023 and is an opportunity for Talkpool to further gain domain knowledge from research-, environmental- and governmental organisations in the project that will lead to new business offerings and commercial opportunities.

Market-leading air quality sensors – 2019

In the smart buildings space, Talkpool released new market leading LoRaWAN sensor devices. These devices measure CO2, particulate matter, temperature and humidity and further strengthened Talkpool’s offering, which now quickly turned into a very complete smart buildings suite.
Talkpool continued to work with major Scandinavian insurance- and real estate companies to further work out Proof of Concept projects and small deployments.

Major Smart Construction contract – 2020

In 2020 the years of developing a strong Smart Buildings offering and succeeding in Proof of Concept stages resulted in commercial breakthroughs. One of the major succeses was with NCC, one of the largest Nordic construction companies. Talkpool starts with active real-time monitoring of temperatures and humidity in the critical parts of a building’s construction, to realise Smart Construction projects for NCC.

Major Smart Buildings contract – 2020

With a now mature Smart Buildings offering and a maturing real estate market, Talkpool realised a major breakthrough in this area with Atrium Ljungberg, one of Scandinavia’s leading real estate companies, at the start of 2020. The solutions deployed include smart metering of water, heating and energy consumption and condition monitoring.
Industry leaders are starting to adopt Internet of Things at the core of their organisation at this stage.
