WiSAR and the
Internet of Things
24.05.23
Established in 2008, the
Wireless Sensor and Applied Research Lab (WiSAR)
at Letterkenny Institute of Technology specialises in the Internet of Things with innovation at
the heart of everything they do.
The team at WiSAR have been involved in the success of
various businesses and SME’s across the North West.
Stephen Seawright shares his experiences: “Our unique
cross border location enables us to build linkages
across both Donegal and the wider Northwest City Region
which has underpinned much of our growth and impact over
the years. It is great to work with so many ambitious
companies locally and we have developed many long term
collaborations across the region.” |

WiSAR also play an
integral role in sharing their knowledge of key regional
and national supports to local businesses and
entrepreneurs by signposting them to other business
support agencies across the region.
The business ecosystem across Donegal has embraced
Innovation, research and collaboration with an open mind
and a willingness to discover new methods as Stephen
explains: “One of the best things about our work is the
variety, no two projects are ever the same. Some clients
want to tease out the feasibility of an idea while
others may have a clear product or service in mind. You
never really know what to expect with your next
innovation project at WiSAR.”
The WiSAR team are always willing to speak to any
entrepreneur to see how they can help them along in
their innovation journey whether its developing a
project with them, or signposting them to the right
place for their needs.
The particular area of competence for WiSAR is the
Internet of Things technology stack which, according to
Maria Gallagher: “Boils down to data collection, data
sorting, data analysis and visualization leading to
business actions, monetization or productivity
improvements.”
WiSAR invites any and all businesses and entrepreneurs
with an idea or who wants to begin their innovation
journey to come and speak to them. Stephen highlights:
“Our door is always open, please visit us.
Alternatively, we welcome the opportunity to visit any
business. Show us around and you never know what ideas
can materialize from a simple conversation.”
