In this episode of First Things First, I chat with Jakob Blomberg of Blink Services about a unique LoRa project you wouldn't normally find synonymous with low-power, wide-area networks – cameras! Equipped with MultiTech-designed (and Telit cellular module backhauled) LoRaWAN bay stations, Jakob lets us in on the development process of a camera-based LoRa solution with billion-dollar (or krona!) Swedish security solutions provider Axis. Blink and its municipal customers stay agile and team up with Axis to update an already-established camera network with the newest LoRa technology. <a href= "https://www.firstthingsfirst.fm/project/say-cheese-an-eye-catching-lora-based-iot-camera-solution-with-blink-services-jakob-blomberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visit the FirstThingsFirst episode page for show notes and more!</a>
