Why LPWAN? Why Gel Dispensers?
• Highly secure data
communications
• Low power
• Effective infection control
requires high levels of
compliance with hand
hygiene procedures and this
is difficult to measure.

6. Phase 2: Trial of LoRa in GOSH
18 October 2019 6
In partnership with Arm, DRIVE setup a new LoRa gateway and
deployed contact, temperature and door sensors.
