If you’ve spent any time in the LoRaWAN ecosystem, you’ve likely heard of both The Things Industries (TTI) and The Things Network (TTN).
While the two are closely related, there’s an important distinction between them, one that defines the reliability, scalability, and professionalism of your IoT deployment.

At Scopious, we're proud to use the carrier-grade LoRaWAN Network Server operated and backed by The Things Industries (TTI), not the public TTN. 
Here’s what that means, and why it matters.

TTI delivers enterprise-level reliability, security, and scalability. With TTI powering our network, you get:

- 99.9% SLA-backed uptime ensuring your network is always online
- Private and secure connections for sensitive data
- Enterprise-grade redundancy and support
- Scalable architecture capable of supporting thousands of devices

By contrast, The Things Network (TTN) is a community-driven public network, ideal for hobbyists, testing, or small-scale deployments. While TTN helped popularise LoRaWAN globally, it has:

- Shared resources and coverage dependent on community gateways
- Unpredictable uptime with no service guarantees
- Community-based support rather than professional assistance
- Limited scalability for mission-critical IoT

What makes the Scopious Network unique is our collaborative approach: coverage is created by our customers installing gateways, while we manage the carrier-grade network server. This ensures coverage where you need it, keeps costs down, and maintains the high reliability only a carrier-grade backbone can provide.

With Scopious, you get the security and performance of a commercial grade network combined with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of a collaborative LoRaWAN ecosystem.

If operating on a public LoRaWAN network does not meet your requirements, then contact us today and we can discuss with you how setting up your own private LoRaWAN network may be better suited to your needs. Scopious offers various services to help you, from consulting through to a managed network service.
