Quote four layers. Do not mix vendor cloud subscriptions into IoT.Factora pricing unless the customer asks for that vendor’s LNS/RMS.

  1. IoT.Factora subscription — plant module, ingest, apps, ops fleet as contracted.
  2. Sensors / tags mapped to Factora registry types (temperature, vibration, kW, count, …).
  3. Gateways / backhaul — LoRaWAN (TEKTELIC KONA, Milesight UG56/65/67), cellular/Modbus (Teltonika TRB/RUT), RTLS anchors (Blueiot BA3000).
  4. Connectivity — SIM, Ethernet, solar (KONA Photon / Milesight SG50), installer labour.
