# Hardware

All IoT and industrial hardware no matter what the connectivity technology is, can be used to develop agile predictive monitoring capabilities.&#x20;

However, for easy and rapid deployment with low infrastructure cost AgPM concept emphasizes on :\
-**Wireless**\
**-Low cost**\
**-Plug and Play** IoT hardware.

This strategy lowers the overall system deployment costs up to 10X due to OT and IT network complexities and sensor costs.

For this, LoRaWAN, GSM, Bluetooth, Wifi hardware and systems being used extensively.&#x20;

Since low cost wireless hardware is main priority, LoRaWAN devices have a unique place in AgPM.

For LoRaWAN, Skysens AgPM provides free LoRa Network Server capability and selected sensor catalog for plug and play usage.

LoRaWAN sensors can be deployed completely wireless with long battery life, long communication range and low costs.

These sensors comes with extensive types and models such as vibration, temperature, air quality, location and others.

Some of these sensors provide unique plug and play capability and edge processing capabilities which enables very low cost system development to a levels no other system can achieve.

In addition to LoRaWAN, AgPM supports 4G/5G infrastructure with low latency, very high bandwidth and data rates and uses industrial type gateway devices.
