New LoRa Alliance standards make LoRaWAN deployments faster

The LoRa Alliance took a significant step in achieving effortless, low-touch deployment at scale with new specifications that enable automated device set-up and a new technical document that extends LoRaWAN’s connectivity reach. The two new specifications – TS014 and TS018 – and a new technical guidance document, TR016 – together dismantle one of the biggest practical barriers to IoT deployment: getting a device onto a network quickly, securely,…

Large-scale LoRaWAN deployments become easier through QR codes and relays - CNX Software

LoRaWAN devices typically require users to enter parameters such as the DevEUI, JoinEUI (formerly AppEUI), AppKey, and potentially the DevAddr plus the session keys, depending on the activation mode (ABP vs OTAA). This is manageable for a handful of devices, but becomes time-consuming, error-prone, and costly at scale. To make the onboarding process easier and scale LoRaWAN networks more effectively, the LoRa Alliance has now introduced three ne…

LoRa Alliance Positions New Standards Around Easier LoRaWAN Deployment

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. The LoRa Alliance has announced new standards aimed at making LoRaWAN deployments faster, simpler and more scalable. For IoT professionals, the significance lies less in another protocol update than in the Alliance’s focus on reducing deployment friction for operational LoRaWAN networks. Large-scale LPWAN projects rarely fail because a sensor cannot transmit a small payload over long distances.…
