Device availability, network flexibility, and technical features give LoRaWAN the edge on NB-IoT today, reckons Proximus. But competition between the two IoT technologies will grow closer, it expects. Meanwhile, Sigfox is missing in action, having apparently retreated from the kinds of metering and smart-city IoT tenders it fought for a few years back. Read more
Ahmedabad-based Oizom – a provider of environmental IoT solutions – is leveraging Semtech Corporation’s LoRa devices and Tata Communications’ LoRaWAN-based networking infrastructure for its new Agribot smart agriculture solution, which is designed to offer farmers real-time insight into the health of their crops by monitoring soil conditions, including humidity and pH levels.

Restaurant chains Shake Shack, Five Guys and Hard Rock Café have deployed LoRa-based temperature monitoring systems in their commercial kitchens. Read more
Smart farming is an important area of digital transformation as farming resources such as fertilizer and water are expensive. Without technology, farms had no idea how well they were performing relative to other local farms. Read more
Murata’s Type ABZ module is a new, compact, low cost, low power wide area network (LPWAN) wireless module that supports the LoRaWAN long-range wireless protocol. This new stand-alone module measures 12.5 x 11.6 x 1.76 mm, and is constructed in a metal shielded package and comprises a Semtech SX1276 ultra-long range spread spectrum wireless transceiver and an STMicro STM32L0 series ARM Cortex-M0+ 32-bit microcontroller (MCU). An integrated TCXO with robust low drift thermal characteristics provides an accurate clock source for the RF transceiver. Read more
