Bringing LPWAN to Industrial IoT | Miromico's Liliane Paradise & Alex Raimondi

In this episode of the IoT For All Podcast, Liliane Paradise and Alex Raimondi, COO and CTO of Miromico respectively, join Ryan Chacon to discuss bringing LPWAN to industrial IoT. The conversation covers the shift towards wireless solutions in the industrial sector, the advantages of LPWAN, sustainable IoT solutions, energy harvesting, battery-free IoT devices, the challenges and strategies in building successful industrial IoT solutions, and the critical role of a strong partner ecosystem. Liliane Paradise is a dynamic tech leader and IoT innovator currently serving as Chief Operating Officer of Miromico. She holds a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from ETH Zurich and began her journey at Miromico as a hardware developer around four years ago. At Miromico, Liliane has driven several major breakthroughs—most notably the launch of the miro EdgeCard mioty®, a compact LPWAN gateway accessory enabling scalable, energy‑efficient deployments. She oversees global operations, focusing on bringing innovative IoT devices—such as rugged gateways and battery‑free sensors—to mass production while championing sustainability and Swiss engineering excellence. Alex Raimondi is an IoT and embedded systems expert with a Master’s in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from ETH Zurich.
