LoRa® Platform for IoT
Semtech’s LoRa is a groundbreaking long range, low power wireless platform enabling our world to become a Smart Planet. LoRa is the de facto platform for low power wide area network (LWPAN) technology for the Internet of Things (IoT). The integrated circuit (IC) is the ultimate solution for eliminating repeaters, reducing cost, extending battery life, and improving network capacity. Semtech’s wireless radio frequency (RF) product line consists of gateways, transceivers, receivers, and transmitters that cover the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band radio frequency spectrum from sub-GHz up to 2.4GHz. With 10x the range and 3x less power than other IoT technologies, our wireless RF integrated circuits are used internationally for applications in smart homes, buildings, cities, supply chain and logistics, metering and utilities, agriculture, industrial, retail, and more.

READ NOWThe LoRaWAN-based gateway is the physical layer (PHY) interface for the LoRaWAN network server (LNS). On the one hand, it listens to certain parts of the radio spectrum and decodes LoRa®-modulated signals originating from LoRa-based sensors. On the other hand, the gateway transmits messages from the network down to a sensor as LoRa-modulated signals.
The exact parameters which govern the reception and transmission of these signals is specified in the LoRaWAN Regional Parameters. The parameters are regionally differentiated because there are different regulatory requirements in different regions of the world.

READ NOWThe recently announced LoRa Basics™ Modem v4 feature release includes a powerful new feature – relay. It allows customers to add battery-operated, easy-to-deploy relay nodes that act as network extenders. These relay nodes can be placed in remote locations or in areas where signal strength is weak due to extreme distances or circumstances, effectively extending the range of existing gateway(s) and networks using LoRaWAN® connectivity.
READ NOWTo begin working with LoRa technology on Amazon Sidewalk, Amazon Sidewalk developers will need specific development kits, such as those provided by Silicon Labs, and Nordic Semiconductor. Both companies offer comprehensive Sidewalk development kits that can help you get started with LoRa and Amazon Sidewalk right away.

READ NOWIntensive pig farming, also known as the ‘intensive piggery system’, has become the primary method of farming in the pig industry. According to this method, pigs are housed indoors and confined in individual stalls or straw-lined sheds at high stocking density, while keeping pigs of similar ages to live together in large crowds under common environmental settings. By doing so, feeding efficiency is significantly improved, and emerging technologies are often employed to maintain pig health and safeguard pig growth - monitoring various environmental parameters inside the barns with wireless temperature and humidity sensors is an exemplary case in point.

READ NOWThe Need for Continuous Asset Tracking
Of the many complexities along the global supply chain and daily logistics operations, asset tracking is arguably the most challenging. Disruptions and subsequent capital loss not only affect goods transported worldwide, but also containers and vehicles used for shipment. On a more local scale, retail stores and shop owners are challenged in keeping track of their assets and supply at all times throughout the day for reasons varying from theft prevention to inventory management.
