Industrial IoT Connectivity Without the Infrastructure Bill
Sphere's Amazon Sidewalk Industrial IoT Connectivity platform enables factories, warehouses, and industrial campuses to connect hundreds of IoT devices — sensors, trackers, actuators — without deploying expensive private IoT gateways. Leverage Amazon's shared network for always-on industrial connectivity at near-zero cost.

Why This Matters Now
Industrial facilities want to connect hundreds of IoT devices – sensors, asset tags, environmental monitors – but the economics don't work. Building private LoRaWAN networks requires $50K–$300K in gateway infrastructure. Wi-Fi doesn't reach outdoor yards and storage areas. Cellular adds $10–$30/month per device, making large deployments economically impossible.
1. Private IoT Networks Are Expensive to Build and Maintain
A 500,000 sq ft facility typically needs 15–30 LoRaWAN gateways at $500–$2,000 each – plus installation, networking, and ongoing maintenance.
2. Wi-Fi Coverage Has Critical Gaps
Outdoor storage yards, loading docks, cooling towers, and remote corners of large facilities are Wi-Fi dead zones – leaving critical assets and equipment unmonitorable.
3. Cellular Per-Device Costs Destroy ROI
Connecting 500 IoT devices at $15/month/device = $90K/year in connectivity alone. For low-cost asset tags and sensors, this makes the entire use case economically unviable.
What Sphere Delivers
Amazon Sidewalk operates on the 900MHz spectrum — a frequency that penetrates walls, floors, and industrial metal structures far better than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — and leverages Amazon's existing infrastructure for free shared connectivity. Sphere's platform adds industrial-grade device management, data processing, and analytics on top of Sidewalk's connectivity layer.
Zero-Cost Shared Connectivity
Amazon Sidewalk uses the shared network created by millions of existing Amazon Echo, Ring, and Tile devices – providing coverage across most US industrial and suburban areas at zero per-device cost.
Edge Processing via AWS Greengrass
Run ML inference and real-time decision logic at the facility edge – reducing cloud round-trips, enabling offline operation, and meeting latency requirements for time-sensitive processes.
Industrial Data Pipeline & API Integration
Move Sidewalk device data into the systems that run the operation, not just into a dashboard. Sphere connects telemetry, events, and control signals to ERP, MES, CMMS, BMS, and custom APIs.
Industrial Device SDK & Integration
Sphere's Sidewalk SDK enables rapid onboarding of custom industrial sensors, asset tags, and actuators. Support for Semtech SX126x chips and pre-certified module partners.
Device Fleet Management
Centralized provisioning, OTA firmware updates, health monitoring, and remote configuration for all connected devices via AWS IoT Device Management.
Bidirectional Control
Not just monitoring – Sphere's platform supports actuator control, enabling automated responses like valve control, conveyor speed adjustment, and HVAC commands.
Built On Industry-Leading Technology
Sphere's Amazon Sidewalk platform is built on a stack designed for large-scale industrial device connectivity, edge decision-making, and operational control. The architecture combines Sidewalk's long-range shared network with AWS-native device services, fleet management, edge compute, and embedded ML support so industrial data can move from field devices to real-time action with minimal infrastructure.

ROI & Business Impact
$150K–$800K Saved on IoT Infrastructure
Sphere Sidewalk deployments save clients an average of $150K–$800K in IoT infrastructure costs compared to private LoRaWAN networks – while enabling 5–10x more monitoring points than Wi-Fi-based alternatives.
$50K–$250K Annual Connectivity Savings
The elimination of per-device cellular costs alone saves $50K–$250K annually for large deployments.

These things would not have been achievable if we did not build our own in-house system and if we did not partner with Sphere to help us achieve our goals.
Selah Ben-Haim
VP of Engineering at Prominence Advisors
Our experience with Sphere and their team has been and continues to be fantastic. We keep throwing new projects at them, and they keep knocking them out of the park (including the rescue of a project that was previously bungled by another vendor).
Ben Crawford
Senior Product Manager at Enova Financial
I would expect to be delighted. It's been a really positive experience, working with Sphere, and I would expect you to have the same.
