Orange announced the continued deployment LoRa IoT Network to reach national coverage of metropolitan France by the end of the year.
Speaking at the recent Viva Technology show, Orange said more than 100 enterprise customers have chosen LoRaWAN connectivity with the Datavenue offer from Orange Business Services.
The Orange network based on LoRa technology now covers close to 4,000 towns and industrial sites with quality connectivity inside buildings and below ground. Orange deploys its network where it counts for its enterprise customers and will continue the deployment, adapting to their needs, with the aim of reaching national coverage by the end of 2017.
Orange said it is also preparing to test the interconnection of its LoRa network with that of another European operator by December in the framework of the LoRa Alliance and work on the roaming standards on LoRaWAN networks.
The roaming standard will supplement Orange Business Services’ international end to end solution for a focused coverage in towns, harbours or industrial sites, announced at the Mobile World Congress in February 2017.
