Senet was launched in 2014 to create a low-cost data network to quickly deploy, connect and securely manage millions and eventually billions of low-power, low-cost sensors. Senet’s LoRaWAN supports a variety of municipal, industrial and corporate initiatives focused on automation, service delivery, and resilience.

The Swisscom LoRaWAN and LoRa are supported by LoRa Alliance, a non-profit alliance and one of the fastest-growing technology alliances of over 500 members (as of 2018) devoted to the large-scale deployment of low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) The Internet of Things through the development and promotion of the open LoRaWAN standard in over 100 countries (including private ones).

Enhanced availability of LoRaWAN networks makes deploying IoT solutions easier than ever by leveraging existing infrastructure, allowing you to offer and connect products and solutions now. More than 100 network operators have implemented and operated. LoRa gateway networks, both public and private, significantly expand the technology reach, but. LoRaWAN promises ubiquitous connectivity to external IoT applications while keeping network structures and management simple.

The LoRaWAN network architecture is implemented in a Star Topology (compared to mesh network topologies such as LoRaWAN Private Networks, which are implemented to serve a single site rather than multiple users.

Users can customize the network according to the needs of their IoT endpoint fleet. The LoRaWAN private network allows companies to connect to their internal networks without relying on the Internet. It is based on the LoRa Alliance Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) standard, which uses an unlicensed spectrum to transmit small amounts of data over long distances.

This led to the development of 15 conceptual services for the IoT network working, for example, the national telecommunications company Swisscom in Switzerland has implemented a national LoRaWAN network to support the creation of intelligent, low-power solutions. Community networks are typically supported by individuals such as hobbyists, nonprofits, and small businesses. A popular example is The Things Network, which offers LoRaWAN network server infrastructure to the global user community.

The entire gateway infrastructure is then organically supported by network users who build different gateways when the best coverage is required in a specific area. LoRa networks are built in a star topology, with client devices interacting with an intermediate device called a gateway that focuses user traffic for transmission to a network server. Lora works completely bi-directionally, unlike Sigfox which is connected to its network to the capabilities of the device.

He claims to use “advanced demodulation techniques” to enable his network to coexist with other radio technologies without additional noise like SigFox, which is ideal for sensor networks, temperature readings, tank level monitoring, smart meters, and other similar applications.

Actility, a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, announced today that Actility ThingPark is selected by four carriers, including Swisscom deployment to LoRaWAN®. Actility also announced its technology partnership with Swisscom for LoRaWAN-based networks at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The LoRa gateway Alliance (r), a global association of companies advocating the open LoRaWAN (r) standard for the low-power and wide Internet of Things (IoT) (LPWAN) network, announced today that several network operators have implemented roaming compatible platforms with full LoRaWAN roaming capabilities available in 27 countries around the world and via satellite. Several customers around the world already use the LoRaWAN roaming services provided by public network operators.

Karsten Brinkschulte, CEO of the startup Core Network Dynamics, told Internet businesses that setting up and running a dedicated IoT network for the UK is possible and desirable both. Swisscom LoRaWan made the right choice in choosing LoRa because it is the most open and convenient Internet of Things network protocol.
