In this episode of Your Network’s Edge: The RAD Way, we explore temporary sites like construction zones, festivals, and disaster relief setups face unique challenges: rapid deployment, equipment theft, breakdowns, and costly delays. Traditional monitoring often can’t keep up with the pace and complexity of these environments.

In this episode, we explore how smart enterprise IoT systems bring real-time visibility and control to temporary sites. By combining sensors, cameras, and edge gateways with a robust IoT gateway architecture, organizations can enable remote IoT data monitoring, receive instant alerts on anomalies, and support more resilient IoT deployments in the field. The result is improved asset security, safer working conditions, and smoother operations at the network edge, even in the most dynamic, short-lived deployments.

Learn how smart IoT for temporary site monitoring helps construction, events, and emergency response teams move from reactive firefighting to proactive control.
