Semtech’s LoRa devices featured in Gas Metering Innovation
Summary
Semtech, a global supplier of analogue and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced that Kiwi Technology, an Internet of Things (IoT) turn-key solutions and data analytics provider, is using Semtech’s LoRa devices for its third party class B Network Control Unit (NCU) that connects gas meters via the LoRaWAN standard. Prior to the deployment and infrastructure upgrade by Kiwi Technology, this utility provider had only one measurement data point each month, obtained from a manual field process. The NCU system and Kiwi Technology’s comprehensive gateway products utilising LoRaWAN enable multiple, remote meter reads per day and allows customers access to their real-time and historical gas consumption trends to identify cost savings and waste reduction opportunities. The NCU anticipates and remotely shuts off gas in potentially dangerous situations before a failure or automatically when a hazard, such as a typhoon or earthquake, occurs. “Choosing Semtech’s LoRa devices for building our IoT-enabled solution allowed us to create an innovative and advanced gas meter reading and monitoring system and deploy it using a carrier-grade network infrastructure,” said Judy Lee, Chairperson of Kiwi Technology.
