主な質問の回答：AWSとSemtechを用いたLoRaWANソリューションによる水道とガスのIoT簡素化

先日、「AWSとSemtechを用いたLoRaWAN® ソリューションによる水道とガスのIoT簡素化（Simplify IoT for Water and Gas Using LoRaWAN® Solutions with AWS and Semtech） 」と題したウェビナーを開催させていただきました。このウェビナーでは、LoRaWANの導入、効率の向上、コストの削減、運用全体の最適化のユースケースに焦点を当て、台頭するIoTテクノロジーを掘り下げ、水道およびガス市場の成長予測について説明しました。 

スマートシティ向けIoTアプリケーションで電力会社の事業拡大を支援するLoRaWAN®

インテリジェント・プロセス・オートメーションの中核となるのはデータですが、そのデータはどこから来るのでしょうか？電力会社にとって、正確なデータを遠隔で収集することが常に課題となっています。このため、データ収集システムが断片化され、企業と消費者に真の変化をもたらすのに必要な規模でのデータ分析の使用が制限されています。

Semtech、公益事業会社の主要基準をLoRa®でサポートするため、Euridis Associationに加入

In January 2020, Semtech joined the Euridis Association, an international non-profit industry association promoting the development of standards and protocols.

LoRaベースのIoTでサンタクロースも恩恵を受ける？

IHS Markit predicts up to 43 percent of all low power wide area networks (LPWANs) will be based on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol by 2023*. As of December 2019, more than half a million LoRa-enabled gateways have been deployed globally, supporting 135 million LoRa-based end nodes**. With the global adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and the growing market share of LoRa-enabled applications, it is becoming more and more difficult to identify a business segment that could not benefit from some level of connected devices. With new LoRa use cases being announced regularly, and growing numbers of worldwide LoRaWAN network deployments (public or private), it seems the only limit to these applications is the imagination of the developers and system integrators solving real world business challenges today.

パート3：LoRa®を使ってスマートで効率的な送電網を実現する

In 2019, smart electricity meters will account for 63 percent of the nearly 200 million electricity meter shipments expected around the world, according to a 2018 IHS report. This volume of smart electricity meter shipments is forecasted to increase in size over the next five years. With the rise of low-power wide-area networking (LPWAN) technologies, such as Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® open protocol, new “smarter” metering solutions are proving to be a compelling alternative to other connectivity options for both Internet of Things (IoT) networks and smart grid applications. With several hundred known use cases (and growing), LoRa-based devices and LoRaWAN networks represent the leading choice for IoT solutions today.

CRA Leads LoRa®’s Growth Efforts in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic in Central Europe has 10.6 million inhabitants over an area of 78,866 square kilometers (30,450 sq. miles). Since the 1970s, Czech Radiocommunications (CRA), based in Prague, has been the sole provider of broadcasting television and radio to citizens nationwide.

Connecting Asia Pacific to the Cloud with LoRa

LoRaWAN®-based Internet of Things (IoT) deployments are global and the number of deployments continues to increase yearly. In 2019, 40%* of all low power, wide area networks (LPWANs) are predicted to run on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology), and LoRaWAN-based networks are present in approximately 100 countries today. In the Asia Pacific region specifically, experts anticipate the number of all IoT-connected devices will jump from 3.1 billion in 2015, to 8.6 billion in 2020. Some recent innovative LoRa Technology use cases from this region are featured below.
