There is a change in the IoT industry, and it has to do with the convergence of two other big developments. The first is the ongoing adoption of the cloud; the second is the rise of the enterprise developer using …

Microsoft has joined the board of the LoRa Alliance, the marketing and development body for the LoRaWAN  low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) standard. Microsoft said LoRaWAN was a “critical connectivity fabric” for its work with digital twins, listing a bunch of …

As is its job, the LoRa Alliance took to the (virtual) stage at The Things Conference this week to proclaim its destiny, slate the competition, and gee-up the troops. The message was that LoRaWAN will achieve “massive scale” in practically …

A single connectivity technology will suffice for certain IoT applications, but the real magic is being realised when two or more complementary IoT technologies combine. Increasingly, solution providers are looking to make multi-mode connectivity a springboard for more complex and …

IoT platforms are not a panacea for the complex inter-workings of industrial IoT systems. They are over-the-top interfaces, which just introduce another layer of complexity to the market. The IoT sector will only hit pay-dirt when there are easier mechanisms …

The developer community working with LoRa-based IoT solutions took stock of Semtech’s new LR1110 module at a virtual meet-up last month, and declared it a “pretty unique piece of silicon”. The LR1110 is the latest in a flurry of dual-mode …

An intro-video plays as the founders of The Things Network (TTN), take to the stage at their annual LoRaWAN bash in Amsterdam. A Hollywood-style voiceover crows about big-sounding tech – something about 5G and 0G, and all the other Gs …

The LoRa Alliance set out its stall at The Things Conference, an annual LoRaWAN meetup in Amsterdam, with an agenda to make the IoT market simpler for developers, device makers, and enterprise customers, so it achieves massive scale, finally.  Donna …

LoRaWAN will work in the 2.4 GHz spectrum band, also occupied by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth systems, to enable LoRaWAN-based IoT devices to work globally at the same frequency for the first time, without needing to switch between sub-GHz bands in …

The Things Network, a key networking and community support group in the LoRaWAN space, has inter-linked 10,000 LoRaWAN gateways across the globe, it has claimed. The Amsterdam-based group started in 2015 with an agenda to foster LoRaWAN deployments globally. It …

Norwegian maritime group Wilhelmsen is deploying a LoRaWAN network at 2.4 GHz to bring connectivity to its operations at land and sea. It will offer connectivity to customers as well. The firm has struck a deal with Dutch LoRaWAN collective …
