10 Things About LoRaWAN & NB-IoT

モノのインターネット（IoT）は、デバイスとの接続方法、操作方法に変革をもたらし続けていますが、スマートソリューションの構築には数多くのネットワークオプションがあります。低消費電力広域ネットワーク（LPWAN）の主流となっているのがLoRaWAN®とナローバンドIoT（NB-IoT）です。

LoRa®: モノのインターネット（IoT）機能を世界に提供

地上での接続が確保できるのは世界の地表の10％に過ぎないと推定されています。大規模なモノのインターネット（IoT）展開を当たり前に実現できる真につながった地球を実現するには、衛星接続で地上ネットワークを補完し、要求の厳しい分野へのカバレッジを拡大する必要があります。LoRaAlliance®は最近、ガイドラインを更改し、LoRaWAN®標準の長距離周波数ホッピングスペクトラム拡散（LR-FHSS）データレートを含めました。LR-FHSS機能により、ネットワーク容量が大幅に増加し、干渉が減少し、世界中の新たな展開の機会が促進されます。

Why There’s Room for a Variety of Solutions in IoT Technology

As the hype around 5G technology continues to grow, the possibility of faster, more streamlined connectivity is driving conversations globally. But while 5G adoption has started, it continues to roll out slowly. To date, some have experienced the benefits 5G technology can bring, but most are patiently awaiting its arrival – and that’s assuming the technology fits the needs of their use case. 5G technology shows a breadth of new possibilities, however since it’s not a one size fits all technology, connectivity solutions from a variety of sources are still necessary.

The Future of 5G and LoRaWAN®: Friends or Foes?

モノのインターネット（IoT）が幅広い業界に普及し、コネクテッドデバイスの数が増加する中、接続技術の状況は未だに複雑で断片的なままになっています。ユビキタスなカバレッジを備え、すべての業界のIoTユースケースに対応できる単一のIoTネットワークは存在しません。

Introducing the LoRaWAN® & 5G Fact vs. Fiction Series

We’re well into 2020, and the promise of 5G networking is continuing to lead conversations across the wireless industry. However, as 5G deployments increase, we also see a rise in alternative low power technologies to offer flexible, cost effective power and low bandwidth options for these so-called massive Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. In particular, market demand for solutions based on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol is continuing to increase, including those helping to combat the global COVID-19 outbreak. It has become clear that as 4G and 5G will target low latency and high throughput applications in the near future, LoRa and LoRaWAN-based applications will make up a larger portion of the massive IoT space, led by mobile operators, unlicensed spectrum operators and enterprises across private rollouts. The market is heading toward a Multi-Radio Access Network (Multi-RAN) strategy leveraging complementary standards, including 4G, 5G, LoRaWAN, and others such as Wi-Fi 6.

Wireless counter readout in the smart utility and housing industries is one of the most promising applications of all processes involving counter reading, data evaluation and billing, and offers high optimization potential. A new white paper produced in collaboration with Minol-ZENNER Group explores how the deployment of Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol for smart homes, multi-dwelling units, buildings, and smart utilities must comply with current German laws and regulatory statuses.

Lacuna Space Shoots for the Stars with LoRaWAN®

Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol offer several advantages for the Internet of Things (IoT) that have enabled it to lead in a competitive marketplace. Perhaps the most important of these advantages is LoRa devices’ unique capacity for long-range data communication. A single LoRa-based gateway provides deep indoor connectivity in underground or city environments, and connectivity to LoRa-enabled end nodes from up to 30 miles away in rural environments. This is especially important in parts of the world where Cellular connectivity is scarce or nonexistent. In places such as these, LoRaWAN-based networking and LoRa-enabled end nodes provide the quickest to deploy and most cost-efficient option for IoT connectivity, enabling smarter solutions that could not otherwise exist.
