LoRaWAN® Technical Update presented by Alper Yegin, Vice Chairman, on Wednesday 27 January from 9:45-10:00am CET / 12:45-1:00am PT OR again at 6:45-7:00pm CET / 9:45-10:00am PT on the same day
LoRaWAN® 1.0.4 presented by Alper Yegin, Vice Chairman, on Wednesday 27 January from 10:30-10:45am CET / 1:30-1:45am PT OR again at 7:30-7:45pm CET / 10:30-10:45am PT on the same day
Considerations for LoRaWAN® in Different Geographic Regions presented by Dave Kjendal, Chair of the Regional Parameters Working Group, on Wednesday 27 January from 10:45-11:00am CET / 1:45-2:00am PT OR again at 7:45-8:00pm CET / 10:45-11:00am PT on the same day
LoRaWAN® Certification & Getting started with the LCTT Pre-testing Tool presented by Derek Hunt, Director of Certification & Certification Committee Chair, with Yavuz Turan from IMST, on Wednesday 27 January from 2:00-2:30pm CET / 5:00-5:30am PT OR again at 11:00-11:30pm CET / 2:00-2:30pm PT on the same day
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.
LoRaWAN Certification
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.
Regulatory Support
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. Joining the LoRa Alliance empowers your business to influence regulatory decisions and stay ahead of evolving standards, giving you a critical edge in deploying LoRaWAN solutions worldwide.
NetIDs
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).
VendorIDs
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.
