LoRa Alliance announces winners of contribution awards

“The success of the LoRa Alliance and the rapid pace of large-scale deployments of the LoRaWAN standard over the past few years is due to our dedicated membership,” said Donna Moore, CEO and chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance. “As a global, member-driven organisation, we rely on our members and their companies to develop and enhance the LoRaWAN specification and certification program, as well as drive global marketing and adoption. It is an honor to recognise this year’s winners, who have truly advanced the LoRaWAN standard over the past year.”

In a year unlike any other, and despite the challenges compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic impacting companies and individuals around the globe, the LoRa Alliance has seen these members step forward and go above and beyond to support the alliance’s work. Each of this year’s winning companies and individuals strengthened the LoRaWAN standard and accelerated its adoption around the world.
