Internet of Things devices are becoming more and more popular. We can use this name for everyday use equipment, which can communicate with each other. In 2020, on the whole planet should be more than 28 billions of IoT devices. Thanks to the agreement between our company and Wroclaw municipality, city units and universities will gain access to the local LoRaWAN network.

Wrocław is one of the most important cities, on the European Internet of Things map. The city really supports that kind of projects and a lot of companies are working to develop this technology. In the capital of Lower Silesia companies are producing simple, consumer – oriented Internet of Things devices and working on the whole IoT-dedicated networks.

One of the effects of this city support, is the partnership agreement between City Hall and Thaumatec. Based on this agreement, the city gains access to the local LoRaWAN network for their R&D purposes. The city will also support developing of this network with the access to the city infrastructure and help with all necessary documents.

One of the features of the LoRaWAN networks is their long-distance range: it’s up to few kilometres in the cities and over a dozen in the open area. A few weeks ago, our gateway received a package of data from 702 kilometres, what is the world record so far – says Krzysztof Berezowski, CEO of Thaumatec – LoRaWAN devices need less energy than the one using traditional mobile phone network, what makes them perfect for the Internet of Things solutions. Moreover, developing LoRaWAN network is cheaper than mobile phone one, because devices are cheaper and also they are using non-licensed, free radio frequencies.

Internet of things devices are becoming very popular on the whole planet and with the long-distance signal range, they can be used to realise the idea of Smart Cities – smart and ecological cities with simple management. Metropolises can use it for example to manage street lights or to optimize the process of collecting municipal wastes, what helps them to reduce the costs.

Thanks to this agreement, all the city departments gain access to the gateways covering almost the whole city. Universities and other research and development units can create their own Internet of Things project or connect their existing devices to local LoRaWAN network

In Wrocław, you can also join a local The Things Network Community – it’s the global organization with almost 18000 members in 86 countries, who are building the global, LoRaWAN – based network for the Internet of Things devices.

Our employees have a lot of different hobbies and passions. And we love to support them, especially when they are connected with one of the most important values – saving human lives and education. So when we got an offer to support International Rescue Competition, organized by local department of Order of Malta, we didn’t think too long.

The main goal of The International Rescuers Competition is to develop knowledge and skills in the field of first aid and to give rescuers the opportunity to check themselves in real-based situations. Through this event Order of Malta wants to promote the idea of first aid and volunteering. The competition is based on theoretical and practical tasks, all of them are being judged by professional paramedics.

The first of edition of this event took place 5 years ago, in 2012. During the last weekend, we had a pleasure to support 8th edition with 16 teams from different countries. We are very happy to share with you the pictures from this event.

In Thaumatec we strongly believe that teamplay delivers the greatest value for all of the parties. History of technology shows us that the best things are created in partnership. That’s why we are proud to announce the strategic partnership between our company and Wind River – global leaders in Internet of Things industry.

1) New office
2017 was an amazing year for us – full of new customers, new employees and new amazing challenges. Because of our rocket growth, our outstanding office started to be too small for us. That’s why we decided to open another office in Wroclaw, really close to the previous one but in totally different style. We moved there some of our teams and they immediately started to call it “Paris” – when you will look at pictures, definitely you will know why! So from now, when you decide to work in Thaumatec, you will have a choice to work in our park villa or…in Paris!

2) New website
After few months of work, finally, we can show you our new website. For a long time, we had the feeling that our previous website doesn’t present what kind of company we really are. That’s why we prepared new one – modern, clean and very personalized. Now you can find there a lot more information about everyday life in our company.

3) New positions
Our new website and new office are great possibilities to open new positions. If you are interested in changing your life in 2018, why not to start from changing your job?
