What is the net environmental impact of dirt-cheap massive-scale IoT?

This discussion is missing something, of course; IoT is not supposed to be written about as an environmental risk. The idea that billions of disposable trackers might litter the planet is an alarmist angle, arguably, on a tech-for-good story. Because, in most cases, the mission to attach sensors across all of public and private society is geared to drive efficiencies, and in many cases those efficiencies are directly or indirectly linked to energy-burning actions.

LoRa Alliance® Achieves 2021 Goals; LoRaWAN® Secures Its Position as the Dominant Technology for Low Power Wide Area Networks

The LoRaWAN standard experienced its strongest year ever in terms of adoption, deployments and expanded capabilities; capped off 2021 with formal acceptance as a standard by ITU-T

 

Fremont, Calif. – Feb. 1, 2022 – The LoRa Alliance®, the global association of companies backing the open LoRaWAN® standard for the internet of things (IoT) low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), today issued its 2021 End of Year Report, a comprehensive look at its activities and achievements in 2021. The report highlights the alliance’s activities and accomplishments that drove massive scaling over the past year.

 

“2021 saw many critical achievements that advanced the standard and LoRaWAN’s standing as the leading LPWAN technology,” said Donna Moore, CEO and chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance. “The industry at large has recognized the value of LoRaWAN and its benefits: an open standard, business model flexibility, support from a large and diverse ecosystem that drives innovation, vendor choice, network coverage worldwide, and the backing of a strong certification program to ensure the interoperability and consistency needed for scale. Our commitment to a multi-RAN strategy further demonstrates the advantages of using open standards. Finally, our members have experienced growth across a huge range of vertical markets where LoRaWAN’s low power and long range are a critical differentiator.”

 

Several market factors drove LoRaWAN’s rapid scaling over the past year:

  • Accepted as an international standard by an independent SDO
  • Recognition of the importance of LoRaWAN’s network model flexibility, which offers public, private and hybrid network options, ensures long-term viability and fit-for-purpose networking to serve the needs of a diverse and growing market
  • LoRaWAN coverage grew exponentially, becoming ubiquitous in 2021 with LoRaWAN networks operational in almost every country
  • Significant growth in deployments of scale that demonstrated that LoRaWAN is critically important to the digital transformation of all businesses
  • Strong increase in membership, with the alliance adding nearly 100 new members in 2021, and the pace of membership growth in early 2022 is already increasing

 

Additionally, the LoRa Alliance led several efforts to make LoRaWAN easier to develop and deploy, to enhance its certification program and to foster collaboration among members. Key achievements over the past year include:

  • Simplified volume deployments by enhancing the LoRaWAN standard and publishing a series of best practice guidelines
  • Launched the Connect Initiative, which led to multiple network operators deploying roaming-capable platforms and entering into commercial agreements, further accelerating the expansion of LoRaWAN roaming
  • Increased multi-RAN capabilities through new collaborations with GS1 and OMS that built on earlier efforts with Bluetooth, RFID, Wi-Fi, DLMS and others to expand market opportunities
  • Expanded the ecosystem and secured membership of key market leaders to advance the technology and strengthen opportunities for collaboration and development of end-to-end solutions
  • Increased LoRaWAN end-device certifications and market leadership with the most certified end-devices of any LPWAN
  • LoRa Alliance members receive support in driving their business, including the introduction of LoRaWAN RFP & Tenders Connect for access to global LPWAN bids and link to third-party marketplaces for product purchase
  • Increased the visibility of LoRa Alliance members’ services and products with enhancements to the LoRaWAN Showcase and created a new Resource Library on the alliance website to support the ongoing needs of the LPWAN market
  • Expanded the LoRa Alliance NetID program to make it more accessible to members and non-members alike, increasing LoRaWAN’s reach

 

“It is clear the world stage is set for significant, rapid market acceleration of LoRaWAN in the coming year. As we look ahead to the rest of 2022, I’m very excited that we will have the opportunity to bring the LoRaWAN community together at the LoRaWAN World Expo in Paris this summer to experience the technology’s global impact,” said Moore.

 

The LoRaWAN World Expo has changed dates and will now take place July 6-7, 2022, at the Palais des Congrès in Paris. The event is open to everyone interested in learning more about LoRaWAN’s global impact, the technology itself and how to grow your LoRaWAN business. It also offers an unparalleled opportunity to network with leading experts and businesses using LoRaWAN; learn more and register here. Limited sponsorship and exhibition opportunities are still available; please contact events@lora-alliance.org for details.

LoRaWAN – Most Common Applications and Use Cases

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of millions of devices around the world that are connected to the internet and which measure, monitor, and provide rich data. Today IoT consists of many loosely connected networks, each of which solves its own problems. For example, in an office building, several LoRaWAN based IoT solutions could be deployed at once: one to control air conditioners, another for heating systems, lighting, security, and other IoT applications.

These IoT networks can operate according to different standards and combining them into one network is not a trivial task. Low-power wide-area networking (LPWAN) technologies are capable of supporting a large number of Internet of Things use cases. While several LPWAN technologies exist, Long Range (LoRa technology), and its network architecture LoRaWAN, is currently the most adopted technology. LoRa provides a range of physical layer communication settings, such as bandwidth, spreading factor, coding rate, and transmission frequency. These settings impact throughput, reliability, and communication range.

IoT solutions and LoRaWAN, allies for better Indoor Air Quality and CO2 monitoring

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has been a public health concern since the industrial revolution. It is more important than ever to monitor it. In the past years, government regulations were implemented to reduce CO2 emissions and improve the health and comfort of occupants of buildings, such as the BACS decree in Europe and ASHRAE guidelines in the United States. Most recently, the COVID-19 epidemic has made air quality indoors even more of a priority.

LoRaWAN, as a communication protocol, provides flexibility for the managers of buildings to enable the Internet of Things (IoT) and deploy IAQ integrations.
