Netmore Group has formed a partnership with the Danfoss business unit Leanheat to enhance energy efficiency in properties throughout Sweden. By leveraging Netmore’s LoRaWAN technology, the collaboration aims to achieve significant energy savings of 20-25%. The focus is on optimising energy consumption and reducing waste in buildings.
The partnership between Netmore and Danfoss aims to enhance the energy management of Swedish properties. Utilising temperature and humidity sensors together with Danfoss Leanheat’s AI-supported software, the initiative is expected to contribute to reducing energy consumption in the involved properties, with the potential for 20-25% energy savings.
Danfoss Leanheat’s approach includes the option of installing sensors in apartments for detailed energy usage data, although it is not mandatory for the functionality of the system. Danfoss has, together with Netmore, added more than 2,000 sensors to Netmore’s network in a short period and more are on the way. This deployment remains a key component in achieving the projected energy savings.
Beyond immediate energy efficiency improvements, this partnership sets the foundation for future exploration of additional use cases. By reducing energy consumption in heating and ventilation, this collaboration promotes environmental sustainability as well as offers financial benefits to property owners. It contributes to more sustainable and efficient property management practices, aligning with long-term goals of both cost savings and environmental responsibility.
“Establishing a robust and secure technical network is essential for connected property management,” Maria Gihlström, a sales manager at Danfoss Digital Services, said. “Our partnership with Netmore is crucial in developing a digital infrastructure that supports interconnected systems and sensors, providing a comprehensive solution for digital energy optimisation. Our goal is to offer property owners real-time data insights to enhance sustainability and efficiently manage energy consumption.”
Eric Collinder, a country manager for Nordics at Netmore Group AB, said, “Partnering with Danfoss represents an important step in the connected real estate sector. We are pleased that our LoRaWAN-enabled connectivity, which is focused on operational efficiency, forms a key part of Danfoss’s energy management solutions. This collaboration underlines our commitment to providing technology that supports effective digitisation in the real estate industry.”

Cellhire, has announced the expansion of its channel development team. The growing business has appointed Kevin Foley as channel development manager – mobile, and James Howard as channel development manager – IoT.
Foley joins Cellhire to support its mobile business in the channel while Howard will be focusing on supporting partners who are expanding into the IoT space.
“I’m pleased to welcome Kevin and James to our team,” said Matt Bennett, a managing director at Cellhire. “Their wealth of experience and industry knowledge will strengthen our channel development efforts. With their expertise, Cellhire is well-positioned to further enhance our offerings and provide exceptional services to our partners.”
Foley brings over two decades of telecoms expertise, including a decade as an account manager for Cable and Wireless and BT, where he drove sales of fixed line, data, Mitel and Avaya in the corporate business space.
Foley then migrated to the channel, spending the last 10 years working with partners including Vodafone, Daisy and Giacom (DWS). His deep understanding of the industry will play a vital role in expanding Cellhire’s partner base in the UK.
“I’m looking forward to helping both new and existing partners with our voice and data solutions, during what is a period of rapid growth at Cellhire,” said Foley.
Howard brings extensive experience to his new role, having worked in the channel since 1996. His background includes working with companies such as HPE, Apple and Adobe.
“The potential for adding IoT connectivity to the portfolio of indirect channel partners is immense,” he said. “It will be great to be working with a diverse range of businesses, such as IT VARs, system integrators and managed service providers, to showcase the possibilities of Cellhire’s IoT offerings.”
Howard’s skills for channel sales and innovation led him to work with various start-up companies, where he honed his abilities and understanding of the diverse marketplace. He will contribute to Cellhire’s strategic growth in IoT, using his expertise to drive change and innovation.
Over the last five years, Cellhire has become an important figure in the partner channel and IoT market. It has established itself as an MVNO on the Orange France network and as an ISP for Vodafone, EE and O2, and its white-labelled SIM management and ATLAS Billing systems are popular with partners in the channel.
