Local Autonomy with IQRF® – Security, Savings & Reliability
Local autonomy is one of IQRF®'s key advantages. It means the network can operate fully on its own — without being permanently connected to the internet or dependent on external services.
This approach brings three major benefits: cost savings, increased cybersecurity, and full control over both the system and its data.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Cost efficiency – no monthly fees for remote services, predictable expenses, and full control for the system owner.
Security – local operation reduces exposure to cyberattacks since the network doesn't need to be online.
Flexibility – IQRF can work as a fully isolated "island" network, but can also be securely connected via an IoT gateway when needed.
Real-world use cases:
Critical infrastructure – e.g. turbine control in power plants, where 100% reliability is essential.
Industrial facilities – reliable data transmission in car manufacturing and factory halls.
Remote sites – monitoring on islands or isolated areas without stable internet access.
Buildings & cities – lighting, HVAC, emergency lighting, and sensor networks running locally and securely.
Why it matters:
A locally autonomous system is more resilient, cost-effective, and cybersecure, while remaining flexible for integration with external systems when required.
