IBM, Semtech 30-Mile IoT Uses 10-Year AAs

LoRa Alliance hawks M2M at Mobile World Congress

by R. Colin Johnson - EETimes, Mar. 03, 2015 – 

PORTLAND, Ore. - IBM Corp. and Semtech Corp. have partnered with the open standards LoRa Alliance at the Mobile World Congress (MWC, Barcelona, Spain), along with many other companies wishing to cash-in on the booming machine-to-machine (M2M) market segment of the Internet of Things (IoT). Other companies in LoRa include Actility, Cisco, Eolane, Kerlink, IMST, MultiTech, Sagemcom, and Microchip Technology.

So far, the LoRa Alliance parnership is offering the only end-to-end solution by marrying every possible application of M2M and other IoT applications with its Long Range Signaling and Control (LRSC) that allows users existing telecom resources to feed the information streaming in from billions of sensors up to the cloud where it becomes actionable intelligence.

"LRSC can be installed on any number of servers, including bare-bones xSeries servers or virtualized SoftLayer instances," IBM Master Inventor Thorsten Kramp told EE Times. "Data from sensors pass through LRSC-enabled gateways via the LRSC network server and application router to IBM's IoT cloud."

The 30-mile maximum distance between sensor nodes is attributable to the encoding methods used on the unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM, 433/868 MHz) band on which the sensor signals ride. Local telecoms concentrating the signals will also be announced at MWC, including Fastnet - a subsidiary of Telkom (South Africa), Bouygues Telecom, KPN, SingTel, Proximus and Swisscom..
