Membership Resources and FAQs
Current Working Groups & Task Forces
As a member of the LoRa Alliance, your organization can engage in any of our working groups dedicated to enhancing and advancing the LoRaWAN standard while fostering global market awareness and adoption. Below is a list of our current working groups and task forces for your reference.
NetID for unique identification of your networks and device addresses.
Roaming (a.k.a., network collaboration) among public, private, and community networks is an essential capability of LoRaWAN with unique features, which helps both coverage extension and coverage densification, reduce CAPEX, increase network capacity, and extend end-device battery life (see FAQ, webinar). Networks need to have a globally unique identifier (NetID) assigned by the LoRa Alliance in order to enable their devices to roam out to other networks (see current assignments).
VendorID for unique identification of your products, ability to generate standard device-identifying QR codes (using own VendorID).
VendorID is assigned to each member, which is an essential part of the standard device-identification QR code (spec, webinar), and GW identification in the upcoming NS-GW interface spec.
LoRaWAN certification is crucial as it ensures that your device complies with industry standards, providing customers with confidence in its performance and reliability. LoRaWAN certification not only helps to ensure device interoperability within the vast LoRaWAN ecosystem while assuring customers of its security and operational efficiency. By choosing certified devices, customers can minimize integration challenges and reduce the risks associated with network deployment. Ultimately, certification adds value by fostering trust and promoting a seamless user experience.
The LCTT allows full testing and regression testing of your device at your location, saving time and money by allowing you to debug and finalize your designs prior to starting the formal certification process with an Authorized Test Lab. The LCTT is the most comprehensive test tool for LoRaWAN end nodes available.
Each member company receives one free LCTT license.
The LoRa Alliance offers unparalleled regulatory support to its members, actively engaging with global regulatory bodies to shape favorable spectrum policies and industry standards. As a member, you’ll benefit from the alliance’s expertise in navigating complex global and local regulations, ensuring compliance and accelerating your market entry.
