LoRa alliance members, Semtech, Libelium and Loriot have announced a new LoRaWAN-connected development kit that should allow designers to speed up the development and testing of their Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Comprising a gateway and ten sensor devices, featuring Semtech LoRa technology, application software and a connection to Loriot’s cloud-based LoRaWAN network, the new development kit is optimized for smart city, smart security, smart environment and smart agriculture applications. The kit is available for both North American (915 Mhz) and European (868 MHz) frequencies.
Through its work with member companies and IoT industry groups, the LoRaWAN Alliance is making LoRaWAN the standard for LPWANs focused on low power, long-range IoT applications. To date, there are LoRaWAN public and private networks in more than 50 countries worldwide.
Javier Martínez, Vice President, Business Development & Sales, Libelium
With our kit, customers do not have to spend time configuring and testing a network, because we are able to provide them with a LoRaWAN network connection that has already been tested and set up to run seamlessly with the kit components and software.
Mike Wong, Vice President, Marketing and Applications, Wireless and Sensing Product Group, Semtech
Such collaboration also shows the value of the open LoRaWAN specification as it continues to bring hardware, software and networking companies together to drive innovative solutions for the IoT market.
