Smarter Planet
IoT, and its associated efficiencies and economic benefits provided by its meteoric growth, is driving the global proliferation of low-cost Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). Semtech’s LoRa Technology is becoming the de facto global standard used to quickly and easily connect sensors and end-nodes to gateways in LoRaWAN™ network deployments. These LoRaWAN networks are expected to aggregate the billions of end-nodes and seamlessly connect to the Cloud to share data and deliver intelligence and analytics to users, governments and local municipalities and contribute to building a smarter planet. Examples of new uses that leverage the long range, low power and geolocation benefits of LoRaWAN networks are emerging daily and enable exciting applications:
- Logistics and supply chain asset tracking
- Smart cities
- Smart buildings
- Advanced meter reading
- Agriculture
