At the LoRa Alliance’s annual members meeting in Berlin, Syniverse, the world’s most connected company, today announced it’s working with LoRa Alliance members to launch the industry’s first LoRaWAN^® neutral roaming platform, which will interconnect currently deployed LoRaWAN^® networks.

Interconnecting LoRaWAN^® networks through Syniverse will allow unlicensed internet of things (IoT) technologies like Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN^® to work harmoniously together across global networks. It will also allow the IoT ecosystem LoRaWAN^® supports to scale faster because there is a common underlying infrastructure managed by a neutral third-party that allows disparate networks to harmonize. Taking this approach streamlines international rollouts, domestic network aggregation and supply chain solutions.

Let’s get one thing clear straight away: building up the Internet of Things (IoT) in the enterprise is complicated. It simply has to be a long, complex journey if one is to ever get it right, from a connectivity and a cultural perspective.

Jaap Groot, vice chair of the LoRa Alliance in Europe, has had enough experience in the industry to spot a good strategy from a bad one. More importantly, he believes enterprises are increasingly understanding the technicalities involved.

The use of a low power wide area network is enabling projects designed to increase efficiency.

Comcast today announced a collaboration between its enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) service, MachineQ™, and Universal Parks and Resorts, to use low power wide area networking (LPWAN) technology for IoT projects at its Orlando location. Using MachineQ’s integrated hardware and software platform, which is being fully deployed at the Orlando resort, Universal’s operations and IT teams are able to quickly test and launch IoT projects designed to increase operational efficiency in the park.

Paige Wireless, a wholly owned subsidiary of Paige Electric Co., LP and premier supplier of wire, cable and connectivity solutions, has chosen TEKTELIC Communications, a leading supplier of LoRaWAN^® Gateways, Sensors, and Applications as its supplier for wireless LoRaWAN^® network deployment. Paige Wireless’ LoRaWAN^® network will support and enhance smart agriculture, sustainability, smart city and IoT adoption across the US.

Paige has been supporting and empowering customers for decades by providing customized electric wires, connectorized cable assemblies, and accessories. These innovations have allowed users to automate, power and collect key metrics and data. With the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other innovative wireless technologies, Paige Wireless can now enhance offerings by providing users with wireless connectivity to their assets. Paige Wireless has chosen LoRaWAN^® as their preferred wireless technology to support this initiative due to its low-power, long-range, and highly-scalable capabilities.

• Says it’s getting real traction and scaling with smart meter applications
• LoRaWAN is the “global de facto LPWAN standard” for IoT  
• And is also becoming the connectivity backbone for smart city applications.

The LoRa Alliance, now almost certainly the Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) market leader, says it’s now getting particular traction in the utilities market, where smart meters for water are driving real LoRaWAN sales volume.

Internet of Things (IoT) technology LoRaWAN® is rapidly spreading worldwide. Although it is not part of the 3GPP technology stack, it is used by many mobile operators, including Orange, Bouygues Telecom, Swisscom, KPN, Proximus, Andorra Telecom, SK Telekom, NTT, Telkom Indonesia, Spark New Zealand. In an interview with the editor-in-chief of Standard, Leonid KONIKU, the CEO and Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of LoRa Alliance, Donna Moore, spoke about technological innovations in the development of the LoRaWAN® ecosystem and why it is the de facto standard technology.

Tasmanian LoRaWAN specialist Definium Technologies is planning to roll out a Tasmania-wide LoRaWAN network, after building one in Launceston in conjunction with others.

Tasmanian newspaper The Examiner reports that Definium plans to have 50 LoRaWAN base stations installed by July 25 and 100 by Christmas, giving it coverage of 90 percent of the population.

With the aim of meeting the increasing demand for improved precision in smart parking devices, Libelium, the Spanish manufacturer of hardware and IoT solutions, has brought in radar technology for detecting the availability of parking spaces.

The new Smart Parking node improves detection as well as stability performance, thanks to a radar sensor that ensures precise detection (99%) of vehicles parked over the device that sends the data to the cloud through the LoRaWAN network.

As part of the network design, Siradel planned to evaluate and optimize the existing IoT network based on LoRaWAN technology. Siradel used its S_IoT tool to assess the current outdoor and indoor coverage, as well as simulate the future coverage after integration of additional gateways.

The LoRa Alliance announced its program for the next LoRaWAN Live!, taking place in Berlin, Germany on June 13, 2019 from 9am to 7pm. The event will also feature the finals of the Momenta Partners LoRaWAN Startup Challenge, for a $10,000 USD prize. The Berlin LoRaWAN Live! program will cover IoT trends and LoRaWAN topics, including vertical market-specific use cases, how to certify devices, IoT market developments, technical workshops, and more.

The United Nations estimates that 68% of the world’s population will live in an urban setting by 2050. As more residents move to city locations, government officials continue to adopt new smart solutions to better manage services improve quality of life and reduce operating expenses in a sustainable way. Smart city solutions can be leveraged in a number of ways to improve parking, the flow of traffic, street lighting, maintenance, waste management and pollution.
