Semtech has announced that The Lace Company has deployed an IoT network, enabled by LoRa RF technology, covering more than a dozen major cities in Russia including Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The Lace Network covers more than 30m people across 9,000km2 and is the first and largest LPWAN to target coverage in Russia, a significant milestone for the IoT movement and LoRaWAN standardisation through the LoRa Alliance.

The connection of objects is a revolution. The IoT will radically change all sectors of the economy. The figures are astounding: in 2020, it is estimated that there will between 50 and 80bn connected devices in the world (Gartner and Idate estimates). The 1st international business forum dedicated to connected objects is being held in Grenoble to address the new technological, financial and societal challenges at stake.

While traditional cellular networks have dominated the market for M2M connectivity, this is about to change. Offering low power, low cost and long range, LPWANs (Low Power Wide Area Networks) enable a far wider range of M2M and IoT applications currently constrained by budgets and distance from a power source. This is based on information in Beecham Research's report: Low Power Wide Area Networks for IoT Applications Market Report and Forecast.

Semtech has announced its LoRa RF technology will be integrated in a large low-power, wide-area network deployed by French mobile network operator Bouygues Telecom, in partnership with leading communications company Sagemcom. The network, based on Semtech’s open LoRaWAN standard, will enable commercial service providers to take full advantage of the IoT movement to offer smarter, more efficient solutions for urban planning, infrastructure m...

Matt Cook, Business Development Manager at Solid State Supplies, looks at what needs to be considered when setting up an IoT infrastructure.

The RN2483 433/868MHz LoRa integrated module from Microchip is now available from distributor Mouser Electronics. The module is an integrated modem with a range of over 15km (suburban) and exceptionally low power consumption, giving a battery life in excess of ten years. The LoRa-integrated module enables wireless designers to maximise range and reduce power consumption without compromising either.

Semtech and Senet have announced the deployment of Senet’s nationwide LoRaWAN network, based on Semtech LoRa technology, for IoT applications. Senet has completed the deployment of 50 towers with network coverage of more than 15,000 square miles. Three towers are in Silicon Valley to enable application development by major corporations and start-ups in the area that plan to connect to their network.

Semtech has introduced a complete Wireless M-Bus (WMBus) and WMBus over its LoRa RF software stack developed by STACKFORCE. The solution will simplify smart metering developments and significantly extend the range of metering deployments, which is a major challenge facing the industry today.
