Company introduction
Who we are and what we do: 
Founded in 2014, Lobaro is a self-funded design house and solution provider with a strong focus on smart metering & solutions for industry. As an agile partner for larger corporations, we enable rapid adaptation to new technologies and opportunities in the field of industrial IoT. Lobaro always strives to find the most technically elegant and at the same time cost-efficient solution, even if this means breaking new ground.

What makes us unique:
We work very efficiently with our customers, because from the first concept and prototype to the professional hardware design including firmware programming, supervision of regulatory testing and mass production, all necessary steps can be offered by Lobaro. We focus primarily on LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Networks) and use modern mobile technologies such as Narrowband IoT / LTE-M in combination with classic technologies such as wireless M-Bus, Modbus or LoRaWAN as fallback uplink or in bridge products.

Working with Nordic Semiconductor:
We use Nordic products in all new designs due to their outstanding technical features, which enable compact and reliable products without pushing the price to exorbitant heights.

Which projects we focus on:
We focus on small to medium sized development projects. These can be either new product developments or the digitalization of existing customer products. Often these products are modifications or combinations of existing Lobaro products, which leads to significantly reduced development costs:
- Smart metering (e.g. wireless M-Bus, wired M-Bus)
- Combination of Cellular IoT with LoRaWAN as fallback
- 100% solar powered Cellular IoT solutions
- Quality & security emphasized solutions
- Accompaniment of CE relevant regulatory tests
