Elbesoft IoT-System und Dienstleistungs-GmbH is a Dresden-based IT services and consulting company specialising in the planning, deployment, and operation of LoRaWAN-based IoT solutions for municipalities, cities, and industrial clients across Germany. Founded by managing director Ewald Natusch, the company is registered at the Amtsgericht Dresden (HRB 43109) and operates from Trompeterstraße 5 in central Dresden.
The company positions itself as an end-to-end IoT partner, covering the entire value chain from sensor selection and network construction to platform operation and data visualisation. Its core technology stack relies on open standards including LoRaWAN for long-range low-power communication, ChirpStack as an open-source network server, and ThingsBoard for IoT dashboards and device management. This open-standards approach avoids vendor lock-in and allows clients to retain full ownership of their data.
Elbesoft IoT's service portfolio spans several smart city and smart building use cases: room climate monitoring, heating optimisation, energy monitoring, parking occupancy detection, gate and access monitoring, and heritage building preservation. A notable reference project is the Smart Building implementation at the Altonaer Kaispeicher in Hamburg, demonstrating the company's ability to deliver solutions beyond its home city.
All data processing and hosting takes place exclusively on German servers, ensuring full GDPR compliance — a key selling point for public-sector clients. The company also offers IoT consulting, workshops, and advisory services to help organisations develop their own IoT strategies.
Elbesoft IoT operates its own SaaS platform, Elbesoft Connect, powered by ThingsBoard, which provides municipalities and industrial clients with a turnkey IoT platform for device management, sensor data collection, and real-time visualisation dashboards.
