A cloud-based remote monitoring service, backed by over 20 years of IoT-SCADA experience.
About Us
CiTop-IoT is based in Vantaa, Finland. We have more than 45 years of experience designing, manufacturing and supplying turnkey automation solutions worldwide.
For more than 20 years, our wireless monitoring system has been used in hundreds of applications. If you are considering remote monitoring for assets such as pumps, motors, refrigeration systems, field devices, automation equipment or OEM devices, contact us to discuss your requirements.
Because we develop and supply both our own hardware and software, we can offer flexible, cost-effective solutions. You can begin with a low-cost evaluation system to test your ideas, then scale up the solution step by step. Scaling is especially straightforward when sites are similar or when differences can be handled through parameter settings. For larger quantities, we can also customize the hardware to create a cost-effective solution tailored and branded for your application.

Remote monitoring solutions using NB-IoT communication
NB-IoT is a modern cellular communication standard designed specifically for IoT devices. It is an LTE-based technology that is also included in 5G standards.
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is designed to provide wide coverage, high network capacity and low power consumption for devices that transmit small amounts of data at low data rates (50–200 kbps). It is well suited to stationary sensors powered by batteries designed to last for several years.
NB-IoT uses a simple signalling structure and can repeat transmissions to improve coverage. This helps it serve devices in hard-to-reach locations, including rural areas and indoor spaces.
Depending on the application, NB-IoT devices may achieve a battery life of 5–10 years. This is made possible in part by power-saving features such as Power Saving Mode (PSM). A device can spend long periods in a low-power state and transmit data at scheduled intervals, for example once a week or less frequently.
NB-IoT’s low data rates and simple network structure allow large numbers of devices and sensors to connect to a network. NB-IoT can use a narrowband channel within the LTE spectrum. Depending on the network deployment, it may operate in a dedicated frequency band, within an LTE carrier, or in its guard band.
NB-IoT is a standardised Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technology developed for IoT devices.
CiTop-IoT’s IoT Cloud SCADA service and NB-IoT controllers provide a reliable, ready-to-use solution for modern remote monitoring applications.
