Semtech’s LoRa® Devices Create an Efficient Monitoring Solution for Reducing Energy Consumption
New smart electricity metering solution from IHM Pacific and Andrea Informatique is easy to deploy and helps reduce energy consumption up to 26 percent
CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced that IHM Pacific, a developer of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for the smart utility metering and smart building vertical markets, and Andrea Informatique, a consultancy firm specializing in new technology and software design, have collaborated to develop a new electricity metering solution based on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol. Deployments of the metering solution have been ongoing for over a year and are increasing in New Caledonia and some parts of the Pacific and Europe.
“Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN protocol allowed us to create metering solutions that offer significant advantages for sustainable, cost-saving utility metering,” said Francois Ista, CEO of IHM Pacific. “Real-time data on energy use provided by our LoRaWAN-connected meters enable customers to closely monitor usage trends. By addressing wasteful habits to increase energy efficiency, our customers typically receive a return on investment (ROI) in three months to six months following deployment of up to 26 percent.”
