Module enables ultra long-range & low-power IoT
Microchip Technology has announced the first in a series of modules for the LoRa technology low-data-rate wireless networking standard. LoRa technology enables IoT and M2M wireless communications with a range of more than 10 miles, a battery life of greater than 10 years, and the ability to connect millions of wireless sensor nodes to gateways.
Conference to discuss whether mobile's future lies in services
The CW Future of Wireless International Conference (FWIC) will make its London debut on 23rdand 24thJune, bringing together a host of experts to discuss the potentially turbulent future of the wireless industry. A key topic on the agenda for the conference is the increasing number of wireless companies finding additional value in transitioning from a product to a service focused business model.
Long range radio modules operate in 868 MHz band
L2Tek is stocking IMST’s ultra long range radio modules. The modules, developed by IMST in close cooperation with Semtech, have a range of up to 15,000 metres and operate in the license-free 868 MHz band. They are designed to provide robust performance as the rollout of LTE close to the 868 MHz band threatens increased interference to wireless links in security systems, smoke detectors, smart meters, home automation and lighting controls.
Low power wireless technologies for the IoT
Which low-power wireless technologies will dominate as the IoT rolls out? Steve Rogerson looks at the contenders.
LoRa RF technology utilised for smart wireless communication
Semtech's LoRa (Long Range) RF technology has been selected by AREVA (Paris) for it's next-gen wireless smart sensor communication platforms. AREVA has finalised the development of its next-gen wireless solutions dedicated to site management and asset tracking applications using smart sensors that provide geolocalisation of equipment in complex industrial environments.
LoRa deal to be unveiled at electronica
FastNet, a machine-to-machine (M2M) operator in South Africa has selected Semtech’s LoRa technology to target low power connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The deal will be officially announced at electronica in Munich. LoRa network deployments will target devices and services that require very long battery lifetime at a low price point, complementing FastNet’s other cellular M2M services that are optimal for high ...
Avnet Memec gives IoT star billing at electronica
The Internet of Things will have its own zone on the Avnet Memec at electronica. Through live demonstrations the plan is to highlight the seamless integration of different networks, nodes, sensors and actuators into single Cloud Services and web based applications. Avnet Memec recognises the IoT world is a very broad area so it has separated the demo systems into two distinct areas.
RF development platform targets AMI applications
Semtech will join with Wi-SUN Alliance members to produce a RF development platform targeting advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and industrial applications. Featuring the company's long-range LoRa technology, the SX1276 RF transceiver will be combined with a Kinetis MCU from Freescale and a Wi-SUN ready Nissin software stack.
Live Internet of Things demo set for electronica
An Internet of Things demonstration will be the centrepiece of Future Electronics presence at electronica in Munich (Nov 11-14) The distributor has teamed up with Semtech and Microchip Technology, to deploy an ISM-band IoT network using LoRa technology, providing wireless connectivity across most of the Munich area with only a few gateways (base stations) during electronica week.
Long range RF technology selected for IoT solutions
LoRa, long range RF technology manufactured by Semtech, has been selected by Microchip Technology for use in the development of solutions for IoT and M2M. This technologyenables long range, low power connectivity that previously had been unrealisable.Competing short-range technology requires too many repeaters and too much infrastructure to achieve wide coverage.
