Coverage proven before rollout
RF planning and propagation modelling are followed by a site survey with test nodes, so coverage is measured rather than assumed.
Wireless network engineering
Wireless networks engineered for industrial and city scale coverage
NET WIZARDS plans, deploys and operates LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, long range radio, industrial Wi-Fi, private 5G and satellite connectivity across the UAE and the wider GCC, so sensors, machines and remote assets stay reachable in places where coverage is never turnkey.
What a properly engineered wireless layer delivers
Most failed IoT projects fail at the radio layer. Devices that cannot report, gateways placed by guesswork and batteries that drain in months all trace back to a network that was never designed.
Battery life measured in years
Low power wide area links let field sensors report for several years on a single battery, which removes most site visits.
One network, many applications
Parking, metering, environment, lighting and industrial sensors share the same wireless layer instead of each vendor adding its own.
Designed for the local environment
Heat, dust, humidity, salt air and dense concrete are part of the design inputs for antennas, enclosures and link budgets.
The challenge
Coverage at industrial and city scale is never out of the box
Wireless coverage across industrial sites, utilities, and remote infrastructure is rarely turnkey, especially at city scale. As one of the region’s few specialized R&D and deployment centers, we design and build carrier‑grade LPWAN networks, including city‑wide LoRaWAN, long‑range wireless communication systems, industrial Wi‑Fi networks, and private 5G solutions.
Our expertise ensures reliable connectivity for sensors, machines, and mission‑critical operations across factories, smart‑city assets, and hard‑to‑reach environments. From planning and RF design to deployment, optimization, and lifecycle management, we deliver wireless networks engineered for industrial performance, low latency, and high availability.
Whether enabling thousands of IoT sensors, connecting SCADA and OT systems, or powering next‑generation automation, our solutions provide the resilient communication backbone required for digital transformation across the MENA region.
A sensor in a basement car park, a meter inside a riser, a level probe in a manhole and a transmitter on a desert wellhead all present different radio problems. Each needs a link budget, an antenna choice and a gateway position that reflect the real environment, which is why we treat network design as an engineering task with measured results rather than a hardware order.

Technology selection
Six wireless technologies, chosen per asset group
A single site often uses several of these at once. The selection is driven by device count, payload size, latency, power source and who should own the network.
LoRaWAN
City wide and campus LPWAN
Public or private LoRaWAN networks built for large sensor populations over long distances. Gateways are placed from a propagation model and verified on site, and a network server manages device joining, keys, adaptive data rate and payload routing to the platform.
- Typical range
- 2 km to 15 km depending on terrain and antenna height
- Device power
- Battery powered, multi year life
- Best for
- Parking, metering, waste, environment, manhole, lighting
NB-IoT and LTE-M
Carrier connected devices
Cellular low power links for devices spread across a city or a country where a carrier already has coverage. Useful where no private network is justified, with SIM management, data plans and coverage verification handled as part of the design.
- Coverage
- Carrier dependent, verified per site
- Device power
- Battery or mains, deep sleep scheduling
- Best for
- Distributed assets, single device sites, retrofit projects
Long range wireless links
Point to point and point to multipoint
Licensed and licence exempt radio links that carry telemetry, video or SCADA traffic between sites where fibre is not available. Link budgets, antenna alignment, line of sight analysis and interference checks are produced during design.
- Distance
- Hundreds of metres to tens of kilometres with line of sight
- Payload
- Telemetry, SCADA, video backhaul
- Best for
- Remote stations, pipeline corridors, reservoirs, quarries
Industrial Wi-Fi
High density plant and warehouse coverage
Industrial grade access points and controllers engineered for interference, metal structures and moving equipment. Roaming is designed for handheld terminals, AGVs and cranes so a session survives movement across the facility.
- Environment
- Factories, warehouses, ports, logistics yards
- Design focus
- Roaming, interference, channel planning
- Best for
- Handhelds, AGVs, tablets, mobile equipment
Private 5G and LTE
Deterministic high bandwidth automation
Private cellular networks for applications that need predictable latency and bandwidth across a large site, including machine vision, remote control of mobile equipment and dense video backhaul.
- Design focus
- Latency, capacity, spectrum and core placement
- Coverage
- Site wide, indoor and outdoor cells
- Best for
- Robotics, AGVs, video analytics, mobile operations
Satellite and NTN
Where no terrestrial service exists
Non terrestrial connectivity for assets beyond any network, including desert wellheads, pipeline corridors and vessels. Payloads are kept small and scheduled, with edge buffering so a pass or an outage does not lose history.
- Coverage
- Regional and global, no terrestrial dependency
- Payload
- Scheduled telemetry and alarms
- Best for
- Oil and gas, remote utilities, marine and logistics

- 02
RF planning and modelling
Terrain and building data, propagation modelling, link budgets, antenna selection and candidate gateway or cell sites.
- 03
Site survey and drive test
Test nodes and reference gateways are installed temporarily, then signal strength and packet delivery are measured at real device locations.

Deployment and commissioning
Gateways, access points or cells are installed with power, backhaul, grounding and lightning protection, then commissioned per site.
- 05
Optimisation
Data rate, spreading factor, channel plan, antenna tilt and cell parameters are tuned against measured performance rather than defaults.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you know coverage will work before we commit to a rollout?
- Design starts with a propagation model built from terrain and building data, then a physical survey with temporary test nodes and a reference gateway. Signal strength and packet delivery are measured at the real device locations, and the gateway plan is corrected before any large order is placed.
- Should we choose LoRaWAN or NB-IoT?
- It depends on device count, ownership and coverage. LoRaWAN suits large sensor populations on a network you own and operate, with no recurring per device fee. NB-IoT suits assets scattered where a carrier already has coverage and where running your own gateways is not justified. Many deployments use both, with the platform treating them as one data layer.
- How long do battery powered sensors last on your networks?
- Multi year life is normal for low power wide area devices, and the exact figure depends on report interval, payload size, signal conditions and temperature. We calculate an expected life per device class during design and verify it with battery telemetry once the pilot is live.
- Can a private network coexist with our existing Wi-Fi and OT networks?
- Yes. Channel planning, segmentation and routing are part of the design so the new wireless layer does not interfere with existing plant networks, and OT traffic stays inside its own segment with controlled interfaces to the IT side.
- Do you handle spectrum, licences and regulatory approvals?
- We design within the frequency bands permitted locally and advise on which parts of a deployment require licensing or approval in the United Arab Emirates. Applications are prepared with the client, since the licence holder is usually the asset owner.
- Who operates the network after installation?
- Either your team or ours. We hand over documentation, monitoring and configuration access, and can provide managed operation with agreed response targets where an internal team is not available.
