Reliable Thread Technology Solutions for Secure Smart Connectivity

ShortRangeWireless delivers scalable Thread-based systems for low-power, secure mesh networking in IoT and smart infrastructure.

Enabling Secure and Scalable IoT Networks with Thread Wireless Solutions

Thread is a low-power, IPv6-based wireless mesh networking protocol designed for secure, reliable communication between connected devices in smart environments. Built on open standards, it provides a robust foundation for the Internet of Things (IoT) and supports a broad range of applications including smart homes, commercial buildings, and industrial automation. What sets Thread apart is its ability to create self-healing mesh networks that offer low latency, scalability, and minimal power consumption—ideal for battery-operated devices.
As a B2B-focused company with a strong North American presence, ShortRangeWireless offers cutting-edge Thread-based products, systems, and support services tailored to meet the evolving needs of businesses and municipalities. From infrastructure to integration, we help organizations implement dependable Thread solutions that scale with their goals.

Case Study

United States

Smart Building Automation – Boston, MA

A commercial office complex in Boston implemented a Thread-based building automation system using over 300 environmental sensors and smart lighting units. The system improved energy efficiency by 28% and reduced maintenance costs by automating diagnostics and alerts. Products were sourced from ShortRangeWireless in collaboration with GAO Tek Inc.

United States

Municipal Waste Monitoring – Seattle, WA

Seattle’s public works department adopted a Thread-powered waste bin monitoring system to optimize collection routes. The project integrated GAO RFID Inc.’s sensor kits and led to a 33% reduction in fuel consumption and faster response to overflowing bins. ShortRangeWireless managed system integration and cloud connectivity.

Canada

Healthcare Monitoring –
Toronto, ON

A private senior care facility deployed a secure Thread-based patient monitoring network. Devices continuously tracked temperature, movement, and air quality. The system met ICES-003 standards and ensured compliance with privacy laws. ShortRangeWireless provided complete deployment, training, and support services.
