How Semtech’s LoRa Edge^TM Platform and AWS IoT Services Are Collaborating to Solve Supply Chain Challenges

The collaboration between Semtech’s LoRa Edge^TM platform and AWS IoT services unlocks new possibilities in supply chains and logistics asset tracking.

According to a survey conducted by Cleo, 85% of companies experience financial losses due to integration issues within their supply chains. Shockingly, 24% of those companies are losing $500k or more annually, while 14% report losses exceeding $1 million annually. This represents a 40% increase in companies facing such significant losses compared to the previous year. 

Oxit Oxtech Multi-Connectivity Module for Connecting to LoRa®-enabled Networks on AWS

Earlier this year, Amazon opened their Amazon Sidewalk network to the public. With Sidewalk signal already covering over 90% of the U.S. population leveraging LoRa’s long range technology, Amazon Sidewalk offers LoRa as one of its connectivity options for device makers to connect LPWAN IoT devices into the sidewalk, enabling a new class of devices with long range community coverage.  In areas of the U.S. where Sidewalk coverage is unavailable, or outside the U.S., devices using the new Oxit module can connect to any compatible LoRaWAN® network, enabling AWS customers to connect their device to any compatible AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN or integrated public network. In addition, LoRaWAN technology not only enables customers to connect to an alternative public LoRaWAN network, but also deploy a gateway utilizing LoRaWAN and create a network anywhere.

The New LoRaWAN® Relay Feature: A Powerful Tool for LoRa® and LoRaWAN Networks

The 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.

The Three-Year Action Plan of New Infrastructure Construction of Internet of Things (2021-2023) also proposes to accelerate new infrastructure construction to enable comprehensively sensing, ubiquitously connected, safe and reliable IoT. Professional IoT networking solutions will help improve sensor connectivity, efficiency, and reliability, thus helping enterprises achieve efficient management.

CES 2023: LoRa®-enabled Sensors Deliver on Smart Industry Promise

We’re grateful to be at CES 2023, where the momentum around solutions with Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® standard is incredibly strong. This morning, we had the pleasure of connecting with a wide range of customers, LoRa ecosystem partners and industry experts to discuss the powerful impact of low power, long range Internet of Things (IoT) technologies on enabling a smarter, greener and more resilient future for our planet. The journey to lower carbon emissions — and, more broadly, help the enterprise achieve its environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals — is a cornerstone to Semtech’s innovation for a better world. 

Stal Data Monitors Environmental Conditions and Pig Health With LoRaWAN®

Intensive 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.

Milesight’s 5G AIoT Network Camera Demonstrated the Integration Potential of 5G and LoRaWAN®

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, China's 5G network coverage continues to expand. Large-scale deployment of the 5G network strengthens the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, extending IoT application scenarios to diversified fields including manufacturing, agriculture, medical care, security, and smart cities.

The LoRaWAN® World Expo: The Power of LoRaWAN

This year’s LoRaWAN® World Expo, held in Paris in early July, featured a wealth of information exchanged by leading industry figures from around the world. The live event was a true success with more than 1,200 attendees from 68 countries – the largest LoRa Alliance® event ever held.

Launching LoRa Cloud™ Locator Service to Evaluate Ultra-Low Power Asset Tracking With LoRa Edge™

The 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.
