Tata Communications and SenRa are making efforts to build a parallel network, called Low Power Wide Area Network based on LoRaWAN technology, to drive India’s IoT

At a time when all private telecom operators like Vodafone Idea, Reliance Jio and Airtel are preparing to give a push to their Internet of Things business through narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) technology, players like Tata Communications and SenRa are also making efforts to build a parallel network, called Low Power Wide Area Network based on LoRaWAN technology, to drive India’s IoT ecosystem, mainly targeting Modi government’s projects like Smart City Mission and Swatch Bharat.

The recent LoRaWAN Live! Event in Berlin, Germany underscored the vitality and excitement of the wireless IoT industry. LoRaWAN is positioning itself as the default wireless IoT infrastructure technology (check out our column on the subject). The event’s presentations were very well attended, and the exhibit area was full of innovative solutions.

In this video Donna Moore, CEO and Chair of the LoRaWAN Alliance talks to Embedded Computing Design’s Alix Paultre at LoRaWAN Live! in Berlin, Germany. In the conversation Donna talks about the group’s growth plans and market expectations.

LoRaWAN network, an advanced technology detects bombs and heroin from a distance

The terrorists who exploded the series of suicide bombs recently in Colombo, Dematagoda, Dehiwala and Katuwapitiya killing over 350 people are supposed to have used TATP, chemically known as Triacetone Triperoxide, an explosive made from commonly available household ingredients including nail polish remover which is acetone and hydrogen peroxide.

Three quarters of the IoT market will be given over to low-power wide-area (LPWA) network solutions, compared with just one quarter for high-bandwidth low-latency 5G applications.

So says the LoRa Alliance, which continues to push its line about being the key technology in low-power ‘fix-and-forget’ machine applications, as well as in the IoT space at large – as both “de facto standard for LPWA networks” and the “de facto LPWAN standard for IoT”.

GENEVA, June 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Orbiwise, experts in developing advanced technologies for IoT providers to maximise the performance of their service and product offerings, today announced that they have successfully launched OrbiWAN™ 6.0, a major upgrade to its carrier-grade IoT platform that operates and manages LoRaWAN® networks. OrbiWAN™ provides their clients with advanced network management tools and a scalable architecture, supporting large operators’ deployments and Enterprise IoT applications alike.

The OrbiWAN™ platform is horizontally and vertically scalable from a local server deployment to global operators running on large clusters of VM to millions of gateways and billions of devices. The standard automatic network manager allows any basic user to use the solution out ‘of-the-box’ while an experienced operator can customise the parameters to fine grain detail, managing multiple groups in the same network separately.

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.
